"Larisa's experience illustrates the dark side of temporary work visas, where she was stripped of her documents and forced to work under abusive conditions for a year without pay."
"Human trafficking can affect legal migrants in less visible ways, including debt bondage, confiscation of passports, and coercive working conditions, often perpetuated by legal migration systems."
Temporary work visa systems in wealthy countries can leave migrants vulnerable to exploitation and abuse. Many migrants, like Larisa from Moldova, seek better opportunities but face harsh realities upon arrival. They may be subjected to forced labor, debt bondage, and restrictions on movement. Legal migration systems can inadvertently contribute to these issues, making workers dependent on a single employer. Migrants often lack resources, knowledge of local cultures, and support networks, increasing their risk of falling victim to trafficking and abusive conditions.
