Yet another mere security case of MWDW “suicide” in Tripoli

News of “suicide” by migrant women domestic workers (MWDWs) has become ordinary news in Lebanon as it circulates in the media almost unnoticed with no details or a party to blame. Headlines of some news sites and newspapers were quoted saying: “A Bangladeshi women domestic worker was found hanging inside her employer’s house in Al Qibeh-Al Qulud neighborhood of Tripoli. Security forces arrived at the scene of crime and opened an investigation into the case.” The news comes simple and brief, downplaying the outrageous violence racism and oppression to which MWDWs are subjected to by recruiting agencies and employers.
