A Ghanaian lady named Juliet is appealing to the public for assistance in order to secure her escape from her current predicament.

Juliet, who said she hails from Tanoso in the Ashanti Region, said she was promised a job as a cleaner in a hotel in Iraq, by an agent, but upon arrival, she was forced to work as a domestic cleaner in private homes, despite her strong objections.

Following her request to be sent back to Ghana, Juliet said she was told to pay a fee of $3000 and the cost of her plane ticket.

Her inability to afford the amount has left her stranded in Baghdad, Iraq, she said in a video she shared online.

She further shed light on how she was maltreated due to her inability to perform her duties as a domestic cleaner by her employers.

“… When I was coming to Baghdad in Iraq, the agent told me I was coming to work as a cleaner in a hotel. I accepted because I knew I could work as a hotel cleaner. I subsequently informed him that I did not want to work as a domestic cleaner and he assured me.

“When I got to Iraq, I was told there is no hotel cleaning job but a domestic cleaning job. I then told them to send me back and they told me to pay $3,000 along with the cost of my ticket.

“I told them I had no money. I was taken to a house where I was maltreated so I ran to the office to complain. My employers angrily stormed the office to ask why I had left. I can no longer do the job and I even struggle to wake up from bed most times as I keep having sleepless nights,” she narrated.

Juliet, who was crying while recording the video, called on Ghanaians to come to her rescue, saying “I really need help to leave this place because I am suffering.”
