2020 was a difficult year for Lebanon, facing not just the COVID-19 pandemic but also revolution and unrest, an ongoing severe economic crisis, and in August the devastating blast in Beirut. In times of crisis, it is the most vulnerable in society who are hit hardest. The situation for migrant domestic workers in Lebanon has deteriorated dramatically.

We are also proud to have collaborated with new and existing partners including those providing humanitarian assistance, legal advice, and repatriation.
