Whenever I went to the toilet, he used to come after me. Wherever I went, he followed me. I was really scared of him and his behavior. One day, he caught me and wanted to kiss me. After that, I got scared and ran away.

“One day, I was sleeping and a man entered the room. He grabbed a pillow, put it on my face, and began raping me. I woke up in shock and tried to resist him and push him off but to no avail. He almost suffocated me.”

We join @egnalegnaDWU in calling for the government in Lebanon to protect migrant workers under Law 205 on sexual harassment, regardless of legal status, and ensure access to justice by making legal processes friendly to migrant domestic workers

Protecting a woman from sexual harassment and sexual violence shouldn’t be a matter of whether they have a colour nationality or job title! Please call up on the Lebaneses government to include MDW in Law 205
