Recorded findings

• Oral and written contracts called "Laguwa" between Haruwa-Charuwa and their employers often favour the landlords' agreements and their ways of exploitation. More than 45% of Haruwa-Charuwa do not even have contracts, giving their landlords the opportunity to impose their own employment terms, wages, and working conditions.
