The program, named
Himaya (protection), will include 10
languages, including Bengali, Hindi, Mandarin, Indonesian, Nepali, Sri Lankan,
and Filipino, in addition to Arabic and English.
The platform will also be open for domestic workers’
complaints.
Set to be launched next year, Imad Al-Habarneh, head of the
Complaints and Hotline Department at the
Ministry of Labor, said that unions,
embassies, and civil society organizations would be given access to the system.
They will also be able to submit e-complaints on behalf of workers, especially
concerning suspected human trafficking cases.
Habarneh noted that the employee could also independently
submit a complaint and follow up on it via their account on the platform.
The platform was announced during the second day of a
workshop on ways to reduce and mitigate child labor in hazardous sectors in
Jordan.
Tamkeen Association for Legal Aid and Human Rights held the
three-day workshop, with the support of the Regional Program for Development
and Protection, to support Lebanon, Jordan, and Iraq, which kicked off Thursday
in the Dead Sea region.
