LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - JUNE 22: People protest the involvement of the U.S. in Israel's war against Iran near the Wilshire Federal Building on June 22, 2025 in Los Angeles, California. The Trump administration has bombed Iran with the largest B-2 bomber strike in U.S. history without obtaining Congressional approval. The anti-war protest comes as daily protests reacting to a series of federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids escalated after President Trump authorized military forces to protect federal property against the wishes of city and state officials.

Migrant domestic workers in Lebanon are subjected to the kafala system, a private migration sponsorship system in Gulf countries which exponentially increases the risk of labour exploitation, forced labour and trafficking. Lebanon's economic crisis as well the August 4 blast has left a significant number of migrant workers in a humanitarian crisis. (Photo by Aline Deschamps/Getty Images)
