The Kiwi working to protect Lebanon’s migrant maids

Layla (not her real name) is a New Zealander working remotely from the Bay of Plenty as an online advocate for some of the estimated 400,000 migrant domestic workers in Lebanon.

She said around 50 percent of the cases her group dealt with were self-referred - where women working as maids had contacted This Is Lebanon themselves - while the other 50 percent came from families of the women, who often wondered why their relative was not sending money home as expected
