Sawamninjah.org is a charity dedicated to tackling the abuse of some of the 200,000 foreign domestic workers in Lebanon. Most are women and many end up physically and sexually abused, being locked away for months by their employers. This makes it almost impossible for charity workers to reach them. So we found a unique solution. We wrote radio ads in languages only the domestic workers understood. Each was disguised with leisure and lifestyle themes that would appeal to women. This allowed us to break into their employers homes and deliver a secret message of hope to the workers.

FVO: If you're a domestic worker, please listen to this message. We've disguised it as an ad for a health spa so your employer doesn't catch on.

SFX: CHIMES

FVO: As an organisation that fights for domestic worker's rights we can't mention our name, but if you're a victim of physical or sexual abuse, and you're too scared to talk to anyone, we want you to know we're here to help. We have already rescued a number of domestic workers just like you, so if you, or anyone you know needs help, please call us, anytime, on 76 573 842. Remember, you can call us anytime on 76 573 842.
