Regina decided to take up the risk after months of unpaid salaries. She heard of an agent ‘pushing’ immigrants to Turkey and left behind her passport, clothes and everything to embark on the journey. 

“I paid the agent and kept all I had left;$50. From what my colleagues said, the journey took days or weeks, but I spent seven months. We slept in bushes and only moved at night because it was illegal. 

The agents need to make sure the road is clear to move. I was discouraged. We could only take baths when we got to a river or water source,” she narrated. 

When they arrived in Turkey, Regina stated they were arrested on their way to a nearby city. She said, “I was arrested and imprisoned for three months. We only ate bread, and we had to fight over it.”

Eventually, Regina was released and settled into the city. She shared more about Turkey in the conservation.
