THIS IS LEBANON
A human trafficking network operating in Lebanon has been exposed, involving illegal brokers who exploit migrant domestic workers, steal their salaries, and deceive Lebanese employers. Survivors' testimonies reveal horrifying abuse, including sexual predation, forced labor, and deception—urgent action is needed to dismantle this network.
Issa Serhan owes Kenyan worker Monica Wangari $900 in unpaid wages, admitted he couldn’t pay her, and shockingly told the agent he could “sell her or do what he wanted with her.”
After eight years of silence, advocacy finally secured Ruth Odima the $900 she was owed—proof that for many workers in Lebanon, justice comes through pressure, not the courts.
