I Want Mercy

It’s 7:10 and the song and prayer have concluded and the meeting has started. A sister rushes in and finds a seat at the back. She is still in her uniform; she’s a care worker and a migrant from Ghana.

Afterwards, she is invited to have a talk with two brothers in a private room, and she is "counselled" for turning up at the meeting in uniform.
