Escaping modern slavery in Lebanon

This is the story of 'Sarah'.
She's a young woman from Ghana who came to Lebanon just over a year ago and who says she’s been subjected to abuse, sexual assault and hasn’t been paid in months.
With rare access, Sky News has filmed her escape to freedom as she flees the household she’s working in, and tries to find a way back home to Ghana.
Sky News asked the Lebanese Ministry for Labour for an interview. It was not granted.
But in a statement the country’s Labour Ministry said: "We strongly believe in abolishing Kafala."
The statement continued: "While extremely essential, it is a complex process that cannot be achieved tomorrow; however we are following the road map that was set by a committee of NGOs and local and international organisations (ILO, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, Legal Agenda, Caritas, Kafa) to reach this milestone.”
“We are currently finalising the standard unified contract that addresses inequalities, in line with international labour standards. This unified contract is considered a significant progress towards dismantling the Kafala system."

I don't get how Arabs dare to criticize Israel as a Human rights agressor but never look at themselves when they also do crimes against human rights.

@R2d2.. 7 ай бұрын

Arabs are the most racist out here They don’t care about human rights They only hate Israel bc of Jews

@@AuntyKarenatellsitlikeitis Tell that to Arabs that judge Israel existance but never look at themselves with Kurds, Jews and Christian discrimination, their kafala system and not forget the slaves in building stadiums for Qatar 2022 or Saudi Arabia and allies attacking Yemen. Again they call themselves defenders of the Palestine cause but when they do something wrong they shut up about it.

"The Islamic conquest of India is probably the bloodiest story in history. It is a discouraging tale, for its evident moral is that civilization is a precious good, whose delicate complex of order and freedom, culture and peace, can at any moment be overthrown by barbarians invading from without or multiplying within." -Will Durant (1885-1981)

It was banned and reintroduced because it was like that and is like that again now. Sadly a lot are like that statistically from the information from charities . Maybe a lot of Lebanese are unaware of what's going on next door or they have normalised it .
