When I arrived at the company’s office of Ussus Alenjaz Recruitment Company, I noticed a group of eight Filipino women gathered in one room. Some had their luggage with them, but not all — my own belongings were never given to me by my employer. I was brought directly into this shared space without any personal items or supplies. From what I observed and experienced personally, it seemed similar for some of the other Filipina workers as well — they arrived empty-handed like myself.

The room they occupied had no privacy: it connected only to a toilet and shower with an open door. There were no basic necessities — toilet paper, soap, sanitary pads — even water was scarce in many cases. Many women wore just single layers of clothing during their menstrual cycles and struggled even to sleep comfortably due to the lack of proper hygiene facilities.

The Filipino women frequently complained about being denied access to essential supplies and restricted from communicating with loved ones outside. Their phones were taken away by supervisors, preventing them from calling family or friends for support. I witnessed this firsthand when a supervisor called our Ugandan manager to forcibly remove their devices in front of the group. This was not just an inconvenience — it felt like a deliberate attempt to control and isolate us.

We all — Filipino women, Ugandans, Ethiopians, Kenyans — were confined without access to freedom or outside movement. It resembled imprisonment: our basic human rights were stripped away as we were locked in small spaces with no clear timeline for release. Some of the Filipina workers stayed there for months, even years, while others faced punishment if they tried to leave.

The bathroom facilities shared by all groups (Filipino women, Ugandans, Ethiopians, and Kenyans) had no doors or proper ventilation. The smell from a single toilet spread throughout the entire building due to poor airflow. No one provided soap, brooms, or cleaning tools — so we couldn’t even maintain basic hygiene in these spaces. It was just one shared toilet for dozens of women, leading to unsanitary conditions and health risks.

Our meals were meager: only dry rice served twice a day without any seasoning or variety. The food was often burned beyond edible quality, leaving us hungry despite the lack of nourishment. There was no clarity on when we would be released from this situation — some women stayed for six months, while others remained indefinitely.

The absence of medical care and support worsened our conditions. I saw a Filipina woman collapse due to a stroke; she fainted in front of us, but the supervisor refused help, claiming “everyone is sick here.” When another worker asked for first aid after an incident involving her phone being taken away (a violation), they were told no assistance would be provided and sent back into the room. This neglect led to severe health deterioration among many.

To survive, some Filipina women resorted to asking passersby from outside through a window — offering money in exchange for food delivered via string or small containers. Ugandan workers also began doing this until our supervisor discovered it and punished one of us by beating her for attempting to obtain basic sustenance. This shows how desperate we were, yet the system was designed to suppress any form of autonomy.

In summary:

- We lived in overcrowded rooms with no privacy or dignity. Basic hygiene supplies (toilet paper, soap) and medical care were denied entirely. Communication tools like phones were confiscated as a means of control. Food was inadequate, prepared poorly, and served without variety or quality. Health emergencies went unaddressed despite clear signs of distress among workers.

This experience taught me how vulnerable we are when stripped of our rights to freedom, safety, and basic care — a system designed not for survival but subjugation.

We urgently call upon the international community, human rights organizations, governments, and ethical employers to unite in liberating all Ethiopian, Filipino, Ugandan, and Kenyan women currently held captive by Ussus Alenjaz Recruitment Company — enslaved within a system that denies them dignity, freedom, and basic humanity. These women are trapped in deplorable conditions: overcrowded spaces with no privacy or hygiene facilities; lack of food, water, medical care, and essential supplies; restricted communication through the seizure of personal devices; and outright neglect during health crises. This is not a workplace — it is modern-day slavery disguised as employment. We appeal to all who value justice and human rights to act immediately: investigate this company's operations, hold its perpetrators accountable for their crimes against humanity, demand transparency, and support efforts that will free these women from subjugation and restore their dignity. Their suffering cannot continue — our collective conscience must rise in solidarity with them now.

Location of the room where people are imprisoned is 24.8509946, 46.8290806, and the car that brought me to that room parked from the street, close to the entrance. However, our window was facing the corridor between buildings. About five meters from the window we could see large construction going on. That is best how I can describe this secretive place.
