Mwiza Mariam is a Ugandan anti-human trafficking activist and the Executive Director of Overseas Workers Voice Uganda, a leading grassroots organisation dedicated to combating human trafficking and defending the rights of migrant workers.
Her journey into activism is rooted in personal experience. At the age of 17, Mwiza faced family rejection that pushed her into forced domestic labour. For three years, she endured exploitation, trauma, and unpaid work, eventually dropping out of school with nowhere to turn. Rather than allowing these experiences to break her, Mwiza transformed her pain into purpose, committing her life to protecting others from similar abuse.
