Islamabad, Pakistan – Rehan Aslam’s family ran a transport and car rental business, and grocery stores. Rehan helped run those businesses.
But five months ago, the 34-year-old sold his car, a Toyota Hiace wagon, for 4.5 million rupees ($16,000) to pay an agent who would help him leave behind his life in his village, Jora, in Gujrat district of Pakistan’s Punjab province, in search of a future in Europe.
