The Migrant Community Centers are run by the Anti-Racism Movement in Lebanon.

MCC’s goal is to make meaningful improvements in the quality of life of migrant workers in Lebanon and in their capacity to self-advocate, and to contribute towards a strengthened and powerful migrant civil society. The MCCs serve to engage, enable, empower, and mobilize migrant communities to advocate for their rights and to decrease discriminatory attitudes and behaviour. Our work focuses mostly on people of Asian and African origin, with a special focus on women migrant domestic workers.

Established in Beirut in 2011, in Saida in early 2016, and in Jounieh in late 2016, the MCCs are free and safe spaces tailored to migrant workers and evolving according to their needs, where they can meet, learn new skills, work together, and access information, resources and assistance.

Since their creation, they have been offering free classes and other educational, social, and capacity-building activities, such as language classes, ICT classes, health awareness sessions, rights education, advocacy training, cultural exchange events, social gatherings, and various national holiday celebrations.

The MCCs also serve as a hub where initiatives are launched, a space to have celebrations and get-togethers, and a casual space for migrant workers to spend time with each other.

To reach our casework team, please send a WhatsApp voice note to 76600476 or 76051169. We offer assistance and counseling for migrant workers about unpaid wages, labor problems, abuse, violence, detention, and repatriation, and advice on other problems you may have.
