The Breadwinners of Sri Lanka

One of Sri Lanka's main exports is it's poor women, predominately mothers, who leave their families for jobs in the Middle East. Sriyani Tidball, author of The Breadwinner, highlights the true experiences of many who end up forced into modern slavery. Sriyani explains the negative impact this industry has on the wider Sri Lankan society, especially on the children left behind.

Sriyani Tidball and her husband Tom run Community Concern, a faith-based non-profit organisation working with marginalised families through education and skills-based programmes in Sri Lanka.

You can find out more about Community Concern here, and Sriyani's book The Breadwinner here.
