About Us
"Mesewat is a non-governmental, non-religious, non-racial and non-profit solidarity network that supports migrant workers in Lebanon and the Middle East."

We aim to provide immediate support to migrant workers in distress, as well as for their families, in the form of shelter or financial/legal support. Mesewat works with a solidarity network of migrant workers, medical staff, lawyers, and allies. We also receive support to organize projects from the Anti-Racist Movement, Migrant Community Center, Kanthari and private donors.

Rahel Zegeye, a human rights activist fighting for the rights of migrant domestic workers, founded Mesewat in 2018. She is also a writer and film director, who tells real life stories about migrant workers through her documentaries and movies. Her upcoming movie is entitled Shouting Without a Listener.
Vision
We envision Lebanon as a country in which migrant domestic workers are protected by the law and can claim their rights to work without harm, have fair and timely compensation, and adequate rest.
Mission
We aim to raise awareness about migrant working conditions in Lebanon and advocate for them to be protected by the law. We also aim to provide migrant workers with a solidarity network that they can rely on in case of distress or abuse.
