The Kafala System in Lebanon
BEIRUT, LEBANON - SEPTEMBER 24: A migrant domestik worker is washing the clothes in the apartment where they live in Beirut, Lebanon on September 24, 2022. The Kafala System is a modern slavery system where the domestik workers lose almost all of their rights and it is still present in several countries of the Middle East such as Lebanon or Jordan. Most of them are coming from african countries but also from Phillipines. They are transferred by intermediary agents to their future owners who in many cases refuse to ever pay their salary and on many occasions abuse them physically and sexually. Due to the psychological pressure to which they are subjected, many of the workers flee their owners, seeking help from local NGOs that try to send them back to their countries to reunite with their families.
