Since May 2014, nearly a dozen female migrant workers, many of them longstanding residents of Lebanon, reported to human rights groups that when they went to General Security to renew residency papers for themselves and their children, they were turned down. Some were told they were not allowed to have children in Lebanon and given a short period of time to leave the country. In some cases, they said, they were given as little as 48 hours.
منذ أيار 2014 ما يقارب اثنتي عشرة عاملة وافدة معظمهن من المقيمات في لبنان لفترة طويلة أبلغن مجموعات حقوق الانسان عن رفض الأمن العالم لطلبهن بتجديد تصاريح الإقامة لهن ولأطفالهن وقيل لبعضهن أنه من غير المسموح لهن إنجاب الأطفال في لبنان وأعطين فترة قصيرة لمغادرة البلاد، كما قلن أن بعض الحالات أعطيت فترة 48 ساعة.
