Lebanon's kafala system restricts rights for 250,000 people
"Sometimes, they lock me up and they ask me to drink from the toilets." People under Lebanon's kafala system call it modern-day slavery. Here's why.

10/06/2020 17:48Having slaves is in their book. Having slaves is normal for the Islamic world. You can’t tell me any different b/c I had a classmate in High School who is Sunni and he would tell me things about the Quran b/c I would ask him questions. He even told me the difference between Shias and Sunnis and why they have beef. Also, he said that Shias and Sunnis believe in having “slaves”. They want real slaves not domestic workers. She is lucky that they don’t treat her the way they really want to treat her.

10/05/2020 20:34Kafala system must be removed. Best thing is let this knowledge spread so others do not fall into the trap. I hope all those migrants make it back home. Shame on your lebanese employer that practice this horrible system. Do what is right and you will be bless.

10/05/2020 03:21Yes, that is also many of Ethiopian workers in Arab countries. They hold them like a hostage by holding their passport and their sponsor has ‘ full right’ on them. Less or no pay at all, living slave like life and abused and neglected. The sad part is these citizen are not even getting the protection they deserve from their country embassies. Here is migrants in Saudi Arabia https://www.telegraph.co.uk/global-health/climate-and-people/investigation-african-migrants-left-die-saudi-arabias-hellish/

10/03/2020 15:38This is very sad and very common in all arab countries. As a non-arab you are as good as trash, if you’re not muslim and a woman, your “master” and his sons can and mostly will rape you. If you’re black you’ll prolly get stones thrown at you in Lebanon. Filthy scum bag of a race and ppl!
