<p>Lebanon’s economic collapse has disproportionately impacted migrant women, particularly domestic workers engaged in informal labor. With legal pathways to work and residency becoming increasingly restricted, many are forced into survival economies, including precarious forms of labor that expose them to heightened risks of criminalization, violence, and exploitation. Rather than offering protection, Lebanon’s legal and policy framework exacerbates their vulnerabilities—restricting access to justice, denying labor protections, and governing migrant women’s labor through criminalization, surveillance, and migration enforcement mechanisms that transform survival strategies into punishable acts. This article critically examines how Lebanon’s migration governance structures, labor laws, and social policies intersect to marginalize migrant domestic workers and render them invisible in discussions of human rights and social justice, drawing on feminist political economy, intersectionality, and critical theories of disposability. Methodologically, the article is a qualitative, desk-based analysis that synthesizes legal texts, policy documents, NGO and UN reports, media investigations, and peer-reviewed scholarship on migrant domestic work and informal labor in Lebanon. It draws on a feminist, intersectional reading of this material, as well as insights from the author’s previous empirical research with migrant women in Lebanon, to trace how governance regimes produce and regulate migrant women’s precarity. It highlights the urgent need for reforms that center labor rights as human rights, dismantle exploitative policies, and ensure meaningful protections for migrant women navigating Lebanon’s overlapping crises. Drawing on recent developments, the piece also explores how civil society actors, feminist movements, and human rights organizations are advocating for change despite the growing criminalization of migration and informal labor.</p>
