Focus on AfricaAvailable for over a year
A Sierra Leonean returnee labourer who was exploited as a housemaid in Lebanon is now raising awareness around the so-called 'Kafala' system. It’s an employment set of codes common in some middle-east countries, that many African migrant women have described as 'modern-day slavery'. (Photo: Credit: by Aline Deschamps/Getty Images)
