Migrant domestic workers have long been framed as passive victims of the Kafala system, a migration surveillance mechanism that legally binds incoming migrant workers to the employer who sponsors their visa. They are depicted as individuals trapped in an exploitative relationship with little recourse to legal protection, their voices muted by their circumstances. This publication, however, questions this image of helplessness and victimhood. It shares the personal testimonies of ten incredible women who came to Lebanon as migrant domestic workers and chose to stand up against the oppression of the Kafala system.
