EXCERPT FROM RÉSUMÉ: 

“This study analyzes the legal framework of immigration and employment in the sector of domestic work and traces the development of case law of criminal courts and Labour Arbitration Councils since 2000 in cases involving migrant domestic workers (MDWs) victims of labour exploitation. It also identifies the obstacles preventing these victims from having access to justice in Lebanon, and makes recommendations to advance their protection and their ability to seek and obtain compensation through formal or informal judicial institutions.”
