You are pregnant <strong>and</strong> your employer finds out so (s)he fires you. Next turn you<br />

should go to 16.<br />

Is this fair?<br />

Why or why not?<br />

What can you do in situations like this?<br />

You arrived at the airport. Together with 6 others you are boarding the flight within a<br />

few minutes. You are promised a job for 3 years with a good salary. The money you<br />

borrowed to pay the broker to arrange all this will be paid back within a year <strong>and</strong><br />

than you can start to send money to your village.<br />

What do you think of this situation?<br />

Can you trust these people?<br />

Would you give your identity card <strong>and</strong> passport to these people?<br />

What kind of legal protection can you get?<br />

You found an NGO that helps people with different types of problems. The staff is<br />

really friendly <strong>and</strong> brings you in contact with a group of migrants that have the same<br />

type of problems. They asked you if you want to file a case at the police station<br />

about what happened to you but you want to think about this first. If you decide to<br />

file a complaint the NGO will support you.<br />

What do you think of getting help from an organization?<br />

Do you think there should be a complaint made at the police?<br />

You are in the hospital. Tell the doctor what happened. Someone at the hospital<br />

underst<strong>and</strong>s your problem <strong>and</strong> gives you the address of an NGO. Next turn you will<br />

go there (to 19).<br />

What do you think the doctor will say?<br />

Who do you think has to pay for the bills?<br />

You arrived in a strange country <strong>and</strong> got bad news. The job they promised you is<br />

not available, you managed to find something else but it is only for 3 months. It will<br />

be difficult to extent your work-permit if you do not find a regular job within 6 weeks.<br />

Next turn you go to the construction site (22) where you will work for three months.<br />

What kind of problems do you face?<br />

What can you do about this?<br />

The police arrived at the site where you are working. You did not have time to get<br />

away so they questioned you <strong>and</strong> found out that your papers are not valid anymore.<br />

They take you to the migration office <strong>and</strong> they will send you back home on one of<br />

the first available flights. Go back to your village (start).<br />

Why did this happen?<br />

What would you do in such a situation?<br />

You found some friends who are in more or less the same position as you are. It is<br />

really nice to talk to them so far from home. You can support each other <strong>and</strong> that<br />

makes you feel good.<br />

What do you think about this?<br />

How can you make this happen?<br />

With friends <strong>and</strong> colleagues you decide to protest against the unfair treatment at<br />

work. Unfortunately the employer gets very angry, punishes you, <strong>and</strong> the protest<br />

does not make a difference.<br />
