THIS IS LEBANON
JJ, a 25-year-old Kenyan, survived 19 months of abuse in Lebanon—sexually harassed, unpaid, and jailed while her abuser walked free. Her story exposes the brutal reality of Lebanon’s kafala system and those who exploit it.
After 4 years of harsh labor, Ethiopian worker Brihane was repatriated without receiving her $3,600 in owed wages - a shocking story exposing Lebanon's Kafala system exploitation and weak protections for migrant workers.
After nearly three years of work without papers, pay, or protection, Adamsay Kamara was abandoned in Daoura. With the help of This Is Lebanon, she finally returned home and received the salary she thought she’d never see.
