The Alabuga Start program, designed to provide African women a chance for better careers in Russia, reveals a troubling reality. Participants, like 20-year-old Aminata from Sierra Leone, arrive with hopes fueled by promises of well-paid positions. However, many find themselves in low-wage, hard labor roles in drone assembly factories, far from the roles they anticipated. A report highlights how these women face deceptive practices and poor working environments, leading to disillusionment about their dreams for a better life.
They turned us into hard laborers with low wages... At first we felt good... but when we got here, they changed everything and gave excuses.
Alabuga Start offers female applicants from poorer countries the prospect of a well-paid career, but the reality often includes poor working conditions and deceptive promises.
