Our Struggles Are Forever Connected | Annual Report 2024 20/05/2025 Annual Reports 2024 was a year with its own brand of unrelentlessness. It was a year of disorienting limbo, of endless scenario planning, and of an eeriness of watching as an escalating situation comes to the edge of explosion. This year we were not only
2023 was unbelievably painful, terrifying, and deadly for our many communities. We experienced xenophobia, racism, homophobia, and transphobia, with relentless attacks on migrant activists, Syrian communities, and LGBTIQ people.
Our Annual Report for 2022 is out! It was a turbulent year for ARM, migrant workers, and refugees in Lebanon as violence towards civil society, activists, and social movements increased.
The context in 2021 was riddled with uncertainties, lockdowns, and fuel and electricity shortages which imposed countless restrictions on our ability to carry out our most basic tasks. 2021 started with one of the strictest national COVID-19 lockdowns globally, with an around-the-clock curfew imposed on all “non-essential” workers. We deemed our work to be more essential now than ever, since Migrant Domestic Workers around the country were struggling to make ends meet, whether these ends were the most basic needs for survival, to find a job and/or a house, or escape an abusive one, or to secure a flight ticket and a passport to go back home.
In 2018, we documented and addressed over 400 cases of labor exploitation, violence, abuse, detention, deportation, medical needs, mental health crises, needs for shelter, racial and gendered harassment, and refugee claims.
At the Anti-Racism Movement (ARM), we are constantly working on a multitude of different activities and initiatives. Most of our activities are only possible with the help of dedicated and passionate volunteers who work in collaboration with our core team.
The Anti-Racism Movement (ARM) was launched in 2010 as a grassroots collective by young Lebanese feminist activists in collaboration with migrant workers and migrant domestic workers.
