In this episode, as many as 350 Liberian women were trafficked to the Middle East with promises of jobs and a chance to study. Instead they found themselves in a human trafficking scam.

But the women broke free from the trap that had caught millions before them. A year on more than half are home. The government has launched a major new push to crack down on traffickers.

Two years since the mysterious deaths of four government auditors a legislative committee that was supposed to look into the deaths has yet to report. We ask why?

And journalists are facing an increase in threats and physical attacks. Newsrooms tell us they are self censoring out of fear. What will that mean for our democracy as Liberia goes to the polls?

Funding for this podcast comes from the Swedish embassy in Liberia and the American Jewish World Service. See more of our collaborations with media in West Africa at www.newnarratives.org
