Though the domestic work was not easy as explained by the Agent in Nepal, Binita (18 years old, name changed) didn’t have any other option besides working in a house in Lebanon back in 2015. When her two years contract was about to end, she requested her sponsor to provide the passport and allow her to travel to Nepal but in return, her Employer only provided false promises of sending her to Nepal. Five years passed by but still, the Employer didn’t allow her to return back. Back in Nepal, her family members were also worried and started looking for help to return her back. They came in contact with CMIR through Accountability Lab’s Community Frontline Associate of Sindhupalchok. With support from the General Consulate of Nepal in Lebanon and the CMIR network, we were able to assist her return process. Her feeling of being home is well captured in this photo(edited) from yesterday.
