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…
Migrant Domestic Workers are asking for protection by the law but even their own embassies continue to fail them.

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.”

Almost 70% of migrant domestic workers in Lebanon have experienced sexual harassment on the job. @EgnaLegnaDWU is advocating for the Lebanese government to amend law 205 to include MDWs. Follow them to show solidarity. #IncludeUsInLaw205 #IncludeMDWsInLaw205 me too.
Migrant domestic workers in Lebanon are launching a campaign to denounce the sexual violence and harassment they face daily #IncludeusinLaw205
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 #IncludeusinLaw205
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
