Voice Behind The Voice 2014 Competition

VOICE BEHIND THE VOICE 2014: USE YOUR CREATIVITY TO DEMAND HUMAN RIGHTS FOR ALL!

With the « Voice Behind the Voice 2014 » competition, Insan Association is giving young people the chance to show off their creative skills at the same time as supporting migrant domestic workers to have basic rights.

INSAN ASSOCIATION AND MIGRANT DOMESTIC WORKERS

Insan Association works with Migrant Domestic Workers to get their basic human and labour rights. Migrant Domestic Workers are more vulnerable to exploitation and abuse because of racism, gender discrimination and the unjust rules that govern their working and living situation.

They can face physical, psychological and sexual abuse, low pay and long hours. Unlike other jobs, Migrant Domestic Workers can only quit their job if they haven’t been paid for three months in a row, if they can prove they have been abused or if their employer makes them work in other people’s houses or businesses. They can’t quit if their family gets sick and they want to go home, or if they have a personality clash with their boss or if they are offered another job for better money! These are rights you and I take for granted!

Also, Migrant Domestic Workers must get their employers permission to go out of the house. Some employers won’t agree and demand the worker stays in the house for the whole contract, sometimes for years at a time! Imagine being locked in your workplace for years at a time!

Insan believes that:

- Young people have the power to change the situation of Migrant Domestic Workers.

- Young people have the power to end racism.

- Young people can help shape the face of Human Rights in Lebanon.

What are YOU doing to change the situation? Do YOU want to be part of this?

Insan Association is calling the brave ones to give a voice to the voiceless, to those who are denied their own voice.
