Here& #39;s one massive thing that the Lebanese government must be forced to do which it is absolutely not doing: it must decriminalize migrant labor. There are now hundreds if not thousands of migrant domestic workers who would be arrested if they tried to go home because 1/3

They have fled abusive Lebanese households and therefore, under the country& #39;s racist Kafala system, are now illegal in Lebanon. Many of them have their passports confiscated by their former Lebanese employers and can& #39;t travel without risking arrest in Lebanon. 2/3

Governments such as Nigeria& #39;s and Sri Lanka& #39;s and Ethiopia& #39;s, in addition to the & #39;international community& #39; sending money to Lebanon, can very easily pressure the Lebanese government to do this. They simply choose not to.
