Many pubs in Hong Kong employ young pub-hostesses to play drinking games with customers and to attract men and increase the amount of alcohol sold. As the job requires drinking large amounts of alcohol and working mostly at night, the health and social lives of pub-hostesses may be adversely affected, which could in turn cause social problems. In this study thirty pub-hostesses were interviewed and 25 pubs observed. Foucault's theory of power relations is used to explain the dynamics observed among the parties. The findings indicate that pub-hostess can only exercise weak resistance to the limitations imposed on them by the various parties, and that to improve their situation, changes at the structural, work, and individual levels are necessary.

This study examines typologies of abusive behaviours among Afro-Trinidadian women. A total of 17 women participated in a 2-hour, face-to-face interview. The findings suggest that women experience multiple types of abuse including physical, sexual, and emotional abuse and controlling behaviours. This article discusses the implications of the findings for interventions with abused women.
