It takes so much courage for survivors to

speak out and tell their stories.

For one, they are afraid of the

traffickers finding them, but two,

it brings up alot of really really hard

memories. And so I feel privilaged to

hear a survivor story and know that just

by telling their story, they trust me

enough to hold it for them.

I was promised a good job for the house

and didn't have to worry about anything.

She said, "you can come with me and work

with me in restaurant. I have restaurant.

I- I pay you alot of money."

I thought it was a great opportunity to

come over here and work in the

United State. Because everyone in the

Philippines like when they heard America

they wanna go- they wanna come here.

I wasn't able to talk to anybody. I was

forbidden to put one step out of the shop.

We sleep on the floor. Yes.

I feel numb because I don't know what do,

I don't know how to do it.

I had to work 17 hours a day,

seve- seven days a week.

I wasn't able to talk to my co-workers.

Sometime I feel like I wanna kill myself

because it was to painful like it's really

it's really like hurt- it's- it's really

like you know hurtful how you see-

how you see treat me.
