Lebanon’s migrant workers demand rights
Although migrant workers in Lebanon are offered little legal protection, a number of associations and activists are working to improve their situation.
An array of colorful flags from around the world were waved alongside bright banners while chants in French, English and Arabic filled the air on May 4, as activists, advocates and workers took to Beirut’s streets to demand legal protection for migrant domestic workers.
“Confiscating salary, shameful, shameful! Confiscating passport, shameful, shameful!”
