A native of Ghana, she details her escape from domestic worker abuse

Sherrynorth is known as ‘Misi Resilience’ by those who know her best, was like many women on the African continent, who leave home to work as domestic workers because they need to make more money to provide for their families in their countries. Originally from Ghana, she was conned by a fellow Ghanaian that she trusted, who acted like an agency and arranged her travel to Kurdistan to work for a family, but everything went extremely wrong after that. Sherrynorth was later trafficked to Iraq and underwent the worst horrors of what domestic workers fear: rape, beatings, human degradation, mental attacks that she trusted no one. Her story could be a movie. But, it is her faith in God and the will to fight that got her through. Now back in Ghana, Sherrynorth helps other domestic workers, educating them on the realities of being a domestic worker, and provides them with the resources they need if they have negative experiences like hers.
