We wrote about how migrant workers are facing the heaviest toll as war comes to the Gulf countries, which have faced a daily barrage of Iranian missile and drone attacks.
At least 12 civilians have been killed. All but one of them were foreign nationals.

Hello Friends,

At @AzadiCommunity storytelling is power.
With @syntaxartstudio, we examined ethical storytelling as a feminist practice one that shifts power, honours lived experience and ensures stories are told with dignity, intention and care.

Hello Friends,

Migrant smuggling is a global criminal business built on human desperation and Kenya is not spared.
Thousands of Kenyans leave the country each year seeking work, yet 76% of those trafficked abroad are women, most exploited in unsafe migrant work.

Agnes’ journey to #Lebanon was supposed to bring opportunity. Instead, she faced exploitation, isolation, and abuse under the #KafalaSystem - a system designed to silence and control.
