Im Libanon arbeiten zehntausende migrantische Hausangestellte unter dem Kafala-System ohne wirksamen Schutz. Menschenrechtsorganisationen sprechen von moderner Sklaverei.

Sharon ist 21, als sie am 24. April 2024 aus Kamerun im Libanon landet. Sie hat ein Ziel: arbeiten, Geld verdienen, ihre Familie unterstützen. Eine Vermittlungsagentur hatte alles arrangiert.
