Her Voice Counts: Sarah_Elliott_Libya_Women19a

Bridget, 24, who is 6 months pregnant and originally from Nigeria has lived in Libya for the past four years. She came to Libya because she explained “there was no money in my country. I came here and sold clothes. There is better money here in Libya. I don’t want to go home to Nigeria, I would like to go to Italy.” Currently, Bridget is living at Janzour Port underneath a dry docked boat and relying on the kindness and generosity of locals donating food and water. “I hope I leave before I have my baby, this is not a good place to be born.”
