Kenyan women workers start an open-ended sit-in outside the Kenyan consulate in Beirut to demand to go back home
Since Friday, several Kenyan women have held an open sit-in in front of the consulate, demanding that it take the necessary measures to return them to their country. Claudine Aoun, the president's daughter, attended the sit-in on Friday in her capacity as the head of the National Commission for Lebanese Women's Affairs and had her picture taken with the Kenyan women.
بدأ عدد من العاملات الكينيات اعتصاماً مفتوحاً أمام القنصليّة لمطالبتها باتّخاذ الإجراءات اللازمة لعودتهنّ إلى بلادهنّ. يذكر أنّ ابنة رئيس الجمهورية، كلودين عون، كانت قد حضرت الجمعة الفائت إلى الاعتصام والتقطت صورة لها مع الكينيات بصفتها رئيسة الهيئة الوطنية لشؤون المرأة اللبنانية.
