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.
Migrant deaths in Lebanon are often hidden behind incomplete reporting or blocked investigations. Thus, seeking justice becomes a struggle.
Racism in Lebanon targets refugees as well as their children, with hospitals denying their rights, even in death, and media outlets portraying their integration in schools as a “threat.”
After a long hiatus, here’s our news roundup report for July 2023, compiling news about migrants and refugees in Lebanon, and the region.

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.
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.
