A Time of Crisis: Lebanon’s Kafala Victims Need You

Understandably, the crisis that the COVID-19 virus has caused globally has uncovered many other otherwise hidden issues. Lebanon’s Kafala system is one of these issues.

For those who don’t know, a kafala system is what many Arab countries put in place to monitor the migrant workers in the country.

Each worker is assigned a sponsor, who then controls many aspects of this worker’s life. Unfortunately this means that a worker cannot quit or leave the country whenever they choose to.
