"I just want to go back home': Kenyan domestic workers protest for repatriation from Lebanon where 'living life with dignity is impossible" 14 January 2022
...The group of about twenty Kenyan women have transformed the front of the Kenyan consulate in Beirut into a makeshift encampment...
They allege that they have been mistreated at every stage of their stay in Lebanon, with abusive employers, deceitful employment agents and a predatory consulate making living life with dignity impossible...
Abuses against them range from extended working hours as there is no separation from workplace and home, to sexual abuse due to the physical and legal leverage that employers wield over them.
