Ilja Abbattista: "You work for a week, or we’ll kill one of your family"

After moving to Holland as a child with her mother, Ilja Abbattista experienced psychological, sexual and physical abuse. At 14, she was sent into care. During this time she fell into a debt bondage trap with a local gang and found herself coerced into sex work. Ilja was trafficked around Holland where she experienced rape, forced labour and violence. Eventually, she escaped and lives today to tell her story. Hosted on Acast.
