Many TKWs come from rural areas and are often lured by the promise of high-paying jobs abroad. However, upon arrival, they are often subjected to long working hours, low wages, and poor living conditions. Some employers may also confiscate their passports, restrict their movement, and impose strict rules on their communication with family and friends back home.
