Ghanaian migrant tells of beatings, sexual harassment under slavish Kafala system

Ghanaian woman 'Sarah', 26, is telling her story for the first time since fleeing the Kafala system in Lebanon, under which she suffered constant beatings and sexual harassment.

The Kafala system encourages migrants to travel to the Middle East but gives them no rights and has been described as "modern day slavery" by the Human Rights Watch.
