#AbolishKafala

[DoWAN @dowanunite]

The #KafalaSystem exploits and abuses migrant domestic workers under the cover of legality.

This needs to change and both, the community and the decision-makers need to finally step up and work towards the abolition of the Kafala system.

Today is #DomesticWorkersDay and we want to raise our voice and awareness by saying: 'We Are Heroes'.

Domestic Workers are care-takers, providers and givers. It is time for the international community to rally behind domestic workers and support them in their call for better work conditions.

16th June is #DomesticWorkersDay, celebrating the contributions of domestic workers and drawing attention to their needs. Here's a thread on their rights according to Convention No. 189 🧵

[Freedom United @freedomunitedHQ]

Domestic workers aren't giving up the relentless fight against exploitation - and neither are we.

Stand with domestic workers like Lucy on #DomesticWorkersDay & demand action from your government!

Our demands for change are clear. Reforms are not enough. The Kafala system needs to be abolished and replaced with a fair system protecting migrant workers.

The Kafala system is enslavement of trafficked women, who have been lured into Lebanon through false promises made by agencies.

The reality the #MigrantDomesticWorkers face include human rights violations, SGBV and enslavement. This needs to stop now!

We can only repeat our demand to #EndKafala and hold the responsible individuals accountable that abuse, exploit and mistreat our sisters in #Lebanon to the extent that suicide seems their only escape from their enslavement!
