After visiting Lebanon for the first time as a tourist in 2019, French-Thai photographer Aline Deschamps was shocked by the conditions domestic workers found themselves in. Deschamps began to document the small apartments many were living in as she became aware of the rising rate of abuse against domestic workers in the country.
“These women were all confined and living on top of each other in a small apartment. It was continuously hot, noisy and very hard for them to be trapped in such a small place,” Deschamps told Middle East Eye. (All photos by Aline Deschamps)
