THIS IS LEBANON
Issa Serhan owes Kenyan worker Monica Wangari $900 in unpaid wages, admitted he couldn’t pay her, and shockingly told the agent he could “sell her or do what he wanted with her.”
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 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.
