In the heart of the city, where the neon lights flicker and the air is thick with ambition, there exists a hidden world—a world of clandestine meetings, unspoken promises, and shadowy figures who lure unsuspecting souls into the labyrinth of illegal recruitment.

Illegal recruitment is any act of canvassing, enlisting, contracting, transporting, utilizing, hiring, or procuring workers and includes referring, contract services, promising or advertising for employment abroad, whether for profit or not, when undertaken by non-licensee or non-holder of authority.
