Since 2014, February 6th has been globally recognized as the “Global Day of CommemorAction”, dedicated to commemorating and remembering the lives lost, those who have gone missing, and individuals forcefully disappeared at sea and borders worldwide.
On this occasion, we urge the Lebanese authorities and international community to seek justice for migrants in Lebanon.
Since the 8th of October, Lebanon has been on the brink of a full-scale war. Villages on the southern borders have been repeatedly attacked by Israel, causing the displacement of more than 40,000 of their residents. This brief aims to share information on the current situation of migrant domestic workers in Lebanon following repeated attacks by Israel.
This paper historicizes and analyzes the informal community-organizing of migrant domestic workers in Lebanon in addition to providing recommendations and ways forward to support and strengthen their work. This paper is based on research conducted in August and September 2023 with activist migrant domestic workers in Lebanon.

حركة مناهضة العنصرية هي حركة شعبيّة أنشأتها جهات شبابيّة ناشطة في لبنان بالتعاون مع عمّال وعاملات أجانب. نعمل معًا في الحركة على توثيق الممارسات العنصرية والتحقيق فيها وفضحها ومحاربتها من خلال مبادرات وحملات عديدة. تمّ إطلاق حركة مناهضة العنصرية عام 2010 عقب حادثة وقعت في أحد أكثر المنتجعات البحرية الخاصّة المعروفة في بيروت.
