Cases of Kafala Abuse in Lebanon


Isatu recounts a litany of abuses: slapped, kicked and bashed over the head with a bottle by Maher Zoueini and without salary for her three months of work. Unsurprisingly, the agency and police failed to help her.


Loubna Jaafar owes Shukurat $2047 in unpaid salary. She was recorded saying "They are slaves...In the Jaafar family, if she did something we’d kill her."


The Bardawils, owners of 5index, kept Jennifer as a slave for 10 months. They sent her home under pressure from TIL and provided no evidence of ever paying her.


Rispa had finished her contract but her employers were refusing to let her leave. One call from TIL changed that.


Selina hadn't been paid for 1.5 years when she contacted TIL. We negotiated payment by her employer and bought her ticket home.


Nisrine Zawahra has held Hannah in slavery with no contact with her family and limited food all while being overworked until 1:30 in the morning on many days.
