Summary
Details

When Workers Bleed: The Human Side Employers Forget By Thuli Marutle Leigh

Foreign teachers travel across oceans carrying hope, courage, and dreams of a better life. But behind the smiling classroom photos and cheerful lessons lies a reality few ever speak about - the exhaustion, the loneliness, the silent discrimination, and the battles fought without protection.

In When Workers Bleed, Thuli Marutle Leigh delivers a raw, unfiltered, and deeply human story of what it truly means to work abroad without the safety nets that locals take for granted. From surviving a year without social insurance, to facing medical emergencies alone, to enduring a heartbreaking miscarriage without institutional support - this book exposes the quiet injustices that many foreign workers endure in silence.

Told with grace, honesty, and unshakeable strength, Thuli's story is not just about trauma - it is about resilience. It is about rising after being failed by the system. It is about rediscovering self-worth, reclaiming dignity, and advocating for change in workplaces that often forget their humanity.

This book is for:

- Foreign teachers working abroad - Employers and school leaders seeking to understand the human cost of neglect - Anyone who has ever felt unseen, unheard, or unprotected at work - Readers who appreciate powerful memoirs of courage, injustice, and healing

When Workers Bleed is more than a book - it is a call for compassion. A reminder that employees are human beings, not machines. And a message to every worker who has ever suffered in silence: You are not alone.
