Sabine is the manager of a hairdressing salon in the Matongé district. Before arriving in Brussels, she had to leave her native Cameroon to go to Lebanon via recruitment agencies for housekeepers where she was reduced to near-slavery. Today, in this 8m2 salon, Sabine and the other hairdressers are organizing the everyday and helping each other to deal with the secrecy. They work 13 to 14 hours a day under the threat of the patrolling police and the gaze of tourists of all ages who look at them and photograph them as objects in the window.
