2) Female Domestic Workers

There is a big demand for Female Domestic Workers in Lebanon. Most of these women are recruited from Afro-Asiatic countries and they are at a heightened risk of exploitation. Several cases have been reported to our Consulate of migrants having fallen victim to deceptive job offers by recruitment agencies. While they agreed to certain working conditions in Kenya, upon arrival they were coerced to work in different occupations, for inferior remuneration and under lower conditions.   The big majority of these women play an important role within families and they contribute significantly to the development of Lebanon; unfortunately some are unlucky and upon arrival their problems starts to become a nightmare, as well for them as for their relatives in Kenya and our Consulate has played a crucial role and succeeded until now to assist finding solutions to these women.
