AMMAN, Dec 18 (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Hundreds of Lebanon s most vulnerable migrant maids have been repatriated with funds raised by local charities, but thousands more remain stuck and destitute due to a deep economic crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic, according to campaigners.
Their top priority has been aiding women with health problems or young children and those who have lost jobs and accommodation during the crisis, which has worsened the plight of workers trapped in a system long compared to modern slavery. They have medical issues, some of them have kids, some of them are pregnant, some of them face domestic violence and want to get out of the country, said Banchi Yimer, founder of the Egna Legna Besidet workers rights group.
