In the Shadows: Stories of Exploitation and Hardship Faced by Irregular Migrant Domestic Workers in Jordan

عاملات المنازل المهاجرات
Summary

Migrant domestic workers represent one of the most significant groups of migrant lobar in Jordan, with their presence steadily increasing since the 1980s. The rising demand for domestic workers is primarily attributed to improved living standards, greater female participation in the workforce, and the shift of young Jordanian families from rural areas to cities, leaving them without the traditional support of extended families. Domestic workers in Jordanian households perform a wide range of tasks, including childcare, cleaning, and caregiver.
