Ghana activists push government to rescue maids from Lebanon

The United Nations (UN) Youth Association Ghana is pushing for the Ghanaian government to help rescue over 8000 stranded domestic workers most of them women from Lebanon.

The Middle East has become a popular destination for African women to move to for work as maids with an estimated three million women from Africa working in Gulf states.

But some end up in dangerous situations.

Three women in their twenties who have returned to Ghana from Lebanon, complain of long shifts - sometimes as long as 14 hours without food.
