Human rights groups are up in arms on the account of the myriad of suicides committed by foreign maids who have been severely abused while working in Lebanon.  To make matters worse, it seems as if the Lebanese government is doing little to prevent such abuse.   According to CNN, 10 women working in Lebanon as maids have died by either hanging themselves or falling off a tall building in the last 7 weeks!

Beefeaters, the jailers at the Tower of London, are iconic figures that represent medieval England in the midst of thriving Londontown.  The Tower of London is one of the city’s most popular tourist attractions(I’ve been there! It was awesome!) with it’s ‘grim history’ going back 500 years involving the guarding and eventual executions of several Tudor queens.  The esteemed job of a beefeater is a male dominated field but recently, a woman named Moira Cameron made history by becoming the first female beefeater.  Unfortunately, misogyny and discrimination has resulted from her achievement at the hands of her fellow male beefeaters.
