Sierra Leonean women stranded in Lebanon
A group of domestic workers in Lebanon have spoken out about the conditions they have faced in Lebanon at the hands of their employers under the so-called kafala system. They say they don't have the funds to return home and have had their travel documents seized. The journalist Aline Deschamps helped them produce a video of a song that Lucy Turay, one of the women has written, which they hope will help them raise funds to return home. Audrey Brown has been speaking to Lucy.
