"We didn't want to be a burden or be dependent on you so we came overseas to work and earn and build up our lives. We do this on behalf of our children. Our hands and legs are tired. We bore this and stayed quiet knowing we could return to Lanka in 2 years." (2/6) #lka
"We were in lakhs of debt in #LKA + came overseas to earn to repay that. We haven't been able to pay that back but have gone into debt again. There's no way to pay the debts before going to Lanka now, and we're going into debt to go back to Lanka." (3/6) #LKA
"I want to tell the President, and the government and ministers... women come overseas to earn and have now resorted to sex work to earn collect money to come back home. They are sleeping with unknown men. 2.5 to 3 lakhs for the return process isn't a small amount." (4/6) #lka
''Your eyes and ears are closed, you don't realise our pain. We want to see our kids. No one in your families have come to these countries and suffered this way." (5/6) #lka
