Domestic workers in Lebanon organized a sit-in protest outside the Kenyan consulate in Beirut

Domestic workers in Lebanon organized a sit-in protest outside the Kenyan consulate in Beirut in solidarity of a fellow worker reportedly fired for being too sick to work. She was thrown out of the house she worked in and left without payment or healthcare outside the consulate.

The number of domestic workers being left on the streets by their employer, usually after working in slavery-like conditions under the so-called Kafala system, has increased in Lebanon due to the crisis and pandemic.
