Shandra Woworuntu went from a very comfortable lifestyle to being forced to work as a sex slave - almost overnight. In the late 1990s, Shandra was working as a financial analyst in Indonesia. She had a nice house, a decent salary and a happy family life with her husband and young daughter. But then she lost her job in a financial crisis, her husband fell ill with cancer and passed away - and suddenly Shandra needed work. She then applied for a job in the US.
