'A mother's struggle against modern slavery.'
Miriam Ali's nightmare began on the day in 1980 when she learnt that her two teenage daughters had been sold to 'husbands' in Yemen by their father, and would not be coming home to Birmingham. But it was also the turning point. After too many years of submission, when she had been used as little more than a baby-machine and had suffered two nervous breakdowns, Miriam finally mustered the courage to being a campaign to rescue Zana and Nadia from the misery and squalor in which they were forced to live.
