Workers endure beatings, sexual abuse, threats of death if they escape, and have their wages taken by the state, all in conditions of captivity.

The women described horrific conditions, including violence, sexual assault, and severe restrictions on their freedom. The content highlights the ongoing exploitation of North Koreans for profit, despite international regulations.
