Migrant workers are the backbone of society, embodying courage in the face of relentless Israeli aggression and systemic racism in Lebanon. Time and again, we see how organisations like the IOM and other entities abandon us, prioritising data and profit over people. But we refuse to be silenced or marginalised.

Our communities stands united, a powerful force in the ongoing struggle for justice and dignity. Our activism is rooted in the global working class struggle.

We are not just individuals, we are communities, fighting for a future where every worker is valued, every voice is heard and every struggle is honoured. Our struggle is your struggle. Our stories are personal but our victories are universal.

Check out the latest article in @thecontinent.africa by our friend @ngozicole who has not forgotten their African people struggling across borders in search of a better life.

Tune in to @bbcworldservice Africa Daily podcast and have a listen. I am discussing with issues on a very important discussion on modern day slavery in Lebanon and how Lebanon’s economic crisis has affected Migrant Domestic Workers.
