Peshgi is an ancient practice of bonded labor, wherein deception and corruption reign in the darkness of poverty, wherein the only light of hope is the Grace and mercy of God.
Debt Bondage is the largest form of slavery in the world.

Victims become bound as a means of repayment for a loan. Often times the conditions and terms of the loan have not been explained and change frequently, making it almost impossible for the victims to ever repay the loan. If the bonded laborer dies before the loan is paid off then the debt gets passed on to the surviving family members.
