Insan launches a booklet on the conditions of migrant women domestic workers in Lebanon

Insan organised yesterday an event at the Faculty of Law at the Sagesse University during which it launched a booklet on the conditions of migrant domestic workers in Lebanon in 2012-2013.  The production of the booklet was funded by the Open Society Foundation in collaboration wit the Sagesse University, within the framework of Insan's programme on justice for migrant workers and their families in Lebanon, and in an attempt to strengthen legal protection for migrant women workers in Lebanon.
The director of the project, Lala Arabian, presented the content of the booklet which addresses several legal problems facing migrant women domestic workers, and resulting from the sponsorship system, such as difficulty in filing complaints and accessing justice, entering Lebanon and acquiring residence, as well as examples of racist practices vis-a-vis migrant women in Lebanon.  Furthermore, the booklet presents the achievements of various civil society organisations working on migrant workers' issues including Insan.
