Very important read.
Thank you @EgnaLegnaDWU Francisca Ankrah and daryn howland for educating me on how the Kafala system dehumanizes and objectifies domestic workers, through building an unfair racial hierarchy that favours some above others.
A man called Bibo Chhadi on FB just posted this picture putting a woman for sale because he can't pay her salary in $, due to the situation in Leb. I blurred the woman's face for ethical reasons.
This is human trafficking.

@EgnaLegnaDWU
Racism within the kafala, or sponsorship, system plays a major role in the abuse of migrant domestic workers in Lebanon. Yet the law fails to protect them. We support @EgnaLegnaDWU & Jasmin Lilian Diab in their efforts to #IncludeUsInLaw205 . #EndKafala middleeasteye.net/news/lebanon-t…
