  "account": "Emmanuella Omah, a 20-year-old Nigerian woman, has recently opened up about the physical assault, verbal abuse and emotional trauma she endured as a house help in Egypt. Emmanuella, originally from Delta State, left Nigeria to work and support her family, which includes four younger siblings. Her father works as a hotel manager and her mother sells used clothes. Emmanuella's journey began when her father's friend, an agent, suggested she travel to Egypt to find work and earn money. Emmanuella agreed, believing she would be paid well and pay back the agent within six months.\n\nUpon arriving in Egypt, Emmanuella was taken to an Old Cairo house by her sponsor, who promised to find her a job. However, her experience quickly turned sour when she was assigned to babysit a child and do cleaning for a pregnant Egyptian woman. Emmanuella soon realized that the sponsor had lied about her inexperience, causing the woman to become hostile and verbally abusive. Emmanuella lasted only three days in this first position before leaving due to the woman's unreasonable expectations and constant nagging.\n\nEmmanuella's second job was even worse. She was subjected to physical abuse, including being slapped, beaten with a spoon and forced to climb through a window in a three-story villa. The abusive woman's son was at school, and her ailing mother was unable to help Emmanuella. After the assault, Emmanuella managed to keep her phone and bravely faced her abuser. The source does not provide further details about Emmanuella's actions or the outcome of her case.",
