“Red light” series production

Description:

Recognizing the pivotal role of media in shaping societal values, fostering political discourse, and holding leaders accountable, we have embarked on a mission to prioritize public dialogue concerning workers' issues in Lebanon. Our initiative, known as "Workers' Voice" or "صوت العمّال" in Arabic, stands as an inclusive and interactive alternative media platform.

Grounded in principles of freedom of expression, independent journalism, social justice, and fair labor practices, Workers' Voice serves as a reliable source of information for the public, journalists, civil society, and other stakeholders. Through our collaboration with the Lebanese Observatory for Workers & Employees Rights (LWRO), we provide comprehensive insights into the realities faced by workers, including rights violations, pertinent legislation, and the state of the trade union movement in Lebanon.

Moreover, Workers' Voice aims to become a trusted reference on Lebanese labor laws, gender equality in the workplace, social protection frameworks, and the historical and present-day landscape of the trade union movement. Our platform offers a safe space for workers to voice their concerns and share their experiences freely.

In addition to information dissemination, we undertake public awareness and advocacy campaigns to promote labor rights and push for meaningful reforms. These campaigns include "Know Your Rights" (اعرف حقّك), which raises awareness on labor rights from a gender-inclusive and diverse perspective, and "The Trade Union Protects" (النقابة، بتحمي), highlighting the vital role of free trade unions in safeguarding workers' rights.

Scope of Required Professional Services:

The video production company/expert who will be hired is expected to produce 6 “Red Light” series videos.

The service provider who will be hired will coordinate with the LWRO team in order to create the videos in accordance with the plans in place.
