This brochure elaborates on the achievements of the UNDP’s 4 portfolios in Lebanon: Democratic Governance, Poverty & Social Development, Environment & Energy, and Crisis Prevention & Recovery.

On December 9, 2009, a Lebanese criminal court sentenced a Lebanese woman to 15 days in jail for repeatedly beating Jonalin Malibago, her Filipina maid, three years earlier.

The evolution of economic incentives and social norms in Lebanon has created new challenges for women to balance work and family life.

This paper aims to analyse the actual and potential impact of the global crisis on international migrant workers through a focus on four issue-areas.

• 40,000 Benefit from Food & Non-Food Relief Items in Southern Lebanon & Bekaa Valley • Survey on Situation of Migrant Domestic Workers following Voluntary Repatriation of 13,300 Stranded Migrants to Countries of Origin • Support to the Government of Lebanon in Managin

This study, prepared by Dr. Ray Jureidini, identifies practices and patterns that are the key causes for women domestic migrant workers' vulnerability in Bahrain and provide alternative approaches for effective means for action.
