Assaulter of migrant domestic worker referred to prosecution
1-7-2019
The labor ministry summoned last week an employer who abuses a migrant domestic worker and referred her case to the Mount Lebanon Court of Appeal on charges of infringement on personal freedom, beating and mistreatment. The employer, a woman, was also added to the ministry’s blacklisted persons (https://bit.ly/2KDbIzG). In the details, a TV show aired a video on LBC on June 24, 2019 documenting a Lebanese woman assaulting a migrant female domestic worker working at her house, which prompted the labor minister to summon the employer and the worker to the ministry’s premises in Jounyeh, east of Beirut. Upon investigation, the case was referred to the Public Prosecution and the aggressor, and any family member living with her, was as a result banned from employing any MWDW. The latter was asked to choose between working at another employer or returning home to Ethiopia which she settled for after she received all her dues plus an air ticket.
