'It was my dream but I ended up being kidnapped'

When Shandra Woworuntu lost her job in a bank in Indonesia, she applied for a post in a hotel in the United States. But her American dream turned into a nightmare as she was forced into a life of prostitution.

According to the UN, an estimated 40.3 million people were victims of modern slavery last year.

Shandra is one such survivor.
