Marriam Mwiza is an anti-human trafficking activist and the executive director of Overseas Workers Voices Uganda, a non-profit she founded with the purpose of advocating for the rights of migrant workers, particularly housemaids in Middle Eastern nations. Marriam is passionate about assisting those in need and advocating for women's rights.
