Domestic workers in Lebanon, silent witnesses of a country on the verge of collapse

For many years, domestic workers in Lebanon have had an up-close-and-personal experience with a faulty system that the country’s economic collapse has now laid bare

A plane from Beirut is about to touch down at the Yaoundé-Nsimalen International Airport. On board are 50 women of all ages, singing the Cameroonian national anthem and crying their eyes out. Collateral victims of a dying country, they are finally returning home after months of struggling to escape the Lebanese quagmire.

Now that the euphoria of the Oct. 17 uprising has faded, Lebanon is embroiled in a serious economic crisis that has shaken the entire system.
