Eye-Opening Video Changing The Way Lebanese Perceive Kafala

The Golden Rule is a principle shared across cultures and religions, which is to treat others as you would want to be treated. Its application requires one thing, empathy. However, having the ability to step into someone else’s shoes isn’t always easy. Otherwise, the world would surely have been a better place.

For instance, if you can come to see ourselves enchained by a system that deprives us of our human rights, aka treats us inhumanly, we could probably understand what migrant workers endure under the Kafala system in Lebanon.

After all, the Lebanese are constantly traveling abroad for work and by the hundreds of thousands. Same as these migrant workers seeking Lebanon for domestic work. What if our loved ones fall into the same trap abroad?
