Discrimination at Saint-George Yacht Club & Marina (Beirut)

The Anti Racism Movement in Lebanon is still trying to end the discrimination at beach resorts by not only naming and shaming as they did 2 years ago with Sporting Club, but also by reporting those who deny entry to foreign workers to the ministry of tourism, since a circular was issued a while ago banning discrimination at beaches and demanding fair treatment of all people, regardless of skin color, background, occupation, or nationality.

Check the below video showing how some activists behind the Anti Racism Movement reported a discrimination act at the Saint-George Yacht Club and Marina.

According to what they wrote in a blog post today, and as per the tourism police, Saint-George will be fined, and a date for the trial is currently being set.

    Good job guys !

    It’s time for discrimination to stop !

    What a shame ! You trust people with your toddlers and your elderly , your kids and your family , but not to enjoy a swim in a f***** pool ?!

    Im against domestic workers going into the pool!
    The same way I feel about hijabi women accessing the pool.
    Imagine each and every family let their worker in the pool. Wtf!
    If she really wants to swim, give her a day off let her go to the public beach.
    But come on, a domestic worker in saint George.
    Most diseases and bacteria come from foreign people, therefore even khaliji ppl and other ethnicities must be forbidden in family oriented clubs and pool.
    This is the case in my club and work out gym. And this is how I believe it should be! I wonder how accepting families would be seeing a group of domestic workers in the pool! So don’t. Blame business runners if they try to protect their businesses!!!
