Domestic Plight - How Jordanian Law,Officials,Employers and Recruiters Fail Abused Migrant Domestic Workers
Summary
This 111-page report documents abuses against domestic workers and the failure of Jordanian officials to hold employers and the agents who recruited the workers accountable. The report also criticizes Jordanian immigration and domestic work labor laws for facilitating abuse,such as confinement in the home and imposing fines for overstaying the legal residency period,even where the worker is not at fault. Many of the 7, migrant domestic workers from Sri Lanka,Indonesia,and the Philippines now living in Jordan face the same abuses as migrant domestic workers elsewhere in the region. These include beatings,confiscation of passports,confinement to the house,insults,non-payment of salaries,and overlong working hours with no days off.
