“If we didn’t have each other”

Faced with dire economic circumstances and discrimination, migrant workers in Lebanon rely on each other to survive, co-founder of Volunteer Circle Nadine Makarem writes.

Apart from the existing repercussions of the Kafala System, racial injustice and discrimination, and inadequate access to social, legal, and support, the migrant community in Lebanon and other vulnerable groups suffer most from the economic crises in Lebanon as they have less of a margin to mitigate its impact.

In addition to this, 32 percent of migrants reported experiencing threats of abuse, violence, exploitation, and trafficking in the past few years, as per a World Vision Lebanon report.
