THIS IS LEBANON
Huda Sha’arawi physically abused her Ghanaian domestic worker for 3 years, denied her contact with the outside world, and sent her home thousands of dollars short.
A human trafficking network operating in Lebanon has been exposed, involving illegal brokers who exploit migrant domestic workers, steal their salaries, and deceive Lebanese employers. Survivors' testimonies reveal horrifying abuse, including sexual predation, forced labor, and deception—urgent action is needed to dismantle this network.
Advocacy efforts by This Is Lebanon and other organisations lead to Darma finally being allowed to go home.
