An organization that has been relentlessly advocating for the rights of migrant domestic workers since 2017. <br \/>  <br \/>  On this episode of Beirut.com&#8217;s podcast Beirut Buzz, Lynn continues the conversation about Kafala and racism in Lebanon which our host Lama had started on the first season, this time joined by an activist from This Is Lebanon. Listen to Zain talk about the one-sided Lebanese judicial system protecting wealthy individuals at the cost of abused migrant workers who can\u2019t even get help at their own embassies, how the NGO\u2019s website got blocked three times by local government, and how you can help expose abusive employers.<br \/>  <br \/>  You can follow This is Lebanon on <a
