In a world without activists like Enu, migrant domestic workers in Lebanon would have nowhere to go when they’re alone and exploited.
When Enu arrived in Lebanon from Ethiopia, she became a domestic worker. She was forced to sign a contract in a foreign language, and her employer took her passport. After working three years without a single day off, she escaped. But many other workers remain trapped, facing physical and emotional abuse and sexual harassment.
Enu and several other migrant domestic workers founded Egna Legna to make sure that no domestic worker felt helpless again. Today, they provide migrant domestic workers with mental health counseling and training to end abuse—despite threats of arrest or deportation.
Donate now and you can help Enu and Egna Legna:
- Expand workshops and trainings for migrant domestic workers to advocate for their rights
- Provide legal support when activists face detention or deportation
- Help vulnerable workers struggling to meet basic medical, sanitary, food, and housing needs
Your donation today will be matched to make double the difference for Enu and migrant domestic workers fighting for their rights.
