the country, this is in fact in violation with the Lebanese legal international commitment, constitution and national laws. One significant problem the migrant domestic workers are subjected to is physical abuse, the problem mainly lies in that there are no repercussions from the behalf of the government. There have been many cases of migrant domestic workers’ deaths even and despite that the police does not properly investigate the cases and no employee gets prosecuted for the death. The ministry of labour did take some initiative in creating a hotline for a dispute resolution system, but it is not working effectively because there is a lack of trust in the system and as well a lack of knowledge on the process to state a complaint. Human Rights observers stated that more than 50% of Lebanon's private beach club owners have barred migrant workers from swimming in their pools and in some cases have physically stopped them from entering. Lebanon also has a mile-long public beach free to all called Ramlat al Baida, where the segregated groups including the migrant workers, were the targets of discrimination. They were moved on to the northern end of the beach where people do not usually go because sewage is poured into the Mediterranean from the high-rise apartments nearby in that area. According to a footage recorded and reported by BBC News on 21 June 2020, Ethiopian maids were being abandoned by their Lebanese employers outside the Ethiopian embassy without any money or food when they could no longer afford them due to severe economic crisis in Lebanon. The embassy would not let them in, compelling them to sleep on the streets. According to The Telegraph, the first group of 35 women were taken into a shelter run by an NGO, and within days, more household maids were left on the streets. There is no official statement issued by the Ethiopian embassy. Government responses by labour-sending countries Several labour-sending countries have issued travel bans or restrictions for Lebanon in recent years, among them Ethiopia, Nepal and the Philippines. However, the Lebanese government has been ineffective with implementing the migration workers ban from entering into Lebanon from the country of Nepal simply kept issuing pre-approved work permits and visas. Madagascar issued its Lebanon ban as a direct consequence of the death of 17 Madagascan domestic migrant workers in 2010 which in 2011 also led the Madagascar Government
