Adau

Adau is a 23-year-old woman from South Sudan who was lured to Russia under the false pretense of securing a job through the Alabuga Start programme. Initially attracted by the promise of professional training in various fields, she quickly discovered that she was working in a drone factory, contributing to Russia's war production efforts. Throughout her experience, Adau faced dangerous working conditions and deceptive recruitment practices, leading her to ultimately resign from her position after enduring health issues due to exposure to harmful chemicals. Her story highlights the exploitation of young women from Africa in global labor markets and the harsh realities of working in a conflict-related industrial environment.
