Migrant domestic workers in Lebanon are subjected to the kafala system, a private migration sponsorship system in Gulf countries which exponentially increases the risk of labour exploitation, forced labour and trafficking. Lebanon's economic crisis as well the August 4 blast has left a significant number of migrant workers in a humanitarian crisis. (Photo by Aline Deschamps/Getty Images)
