Surprising fact about the Kafala system is that the most violent people in the system are Lebanese women. it is bizarre that Lebanese women think they can achieve gender equality slapping around 600,000 defenseless female slaves for thirty or so years non-stop.
Looking the other way as their husbands rape yet when the Black migrant workers run away from the abuse they are the first ones to report them to the police.
These women raise your children, do all the housework sometimes working 18hr days, when the lebanese women tire of the sexual abuse from their husbands they turn a blind eye as their maids are abused just like white women during slavery. Disgusting power dynamics
