Our media monitoring efforts complement our advocacy work for the purpose of spreading accurate information on migrant workers and refugees to tackle misinformation, and to shift the dominant discourse that either portrays them either as helpless victims with no agency or demonizes them in scapegoating campaigns under Lebanon’s ongoing crisis.

We strongly believe in the power of migrants to tell their own stories and influence the dominant narratives themselves.
Every Friday, we publish a comprehensive weekly roundup of all events and media coverage related to migrants and refugees. The news reports are also posted on our social media channels, and sent to journalists and allies by email.

The Anti-Racism Movement (ARM) is happy to launch this new handbook for organizations offering services to migrant workers (MWs) in Lebanon
The Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD) commenced its 104th session on August 9, 2021 for which the Lebanese delegation submitted a report that veers off-topic in most sections.
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.
