Nora, a Srilankan domestic Worker
I
was brought to work as a domestic worker, and
when I arrived, the recruitment office kept me
there for 6 months after withholding my
passport. He used to take me to several houses
to work in for free I was not there alone, there
were other workers. So I ran-away from the
agency with 2 other Sri Lankan workers, I tried
to get my passport back, but the agency asked me
to pay 1000 JDs in order to have it back.
An Indonesian worker, who
was brought to the country to work for two
years, was transported between 3 houses to work
in the recruitment office unwillingly. She
worked for 5 years, but only got paid for 2
years, she refused to work without pay , and she
the recruitment office to return her back to her
country , but they didn't obey. She was hit and
humiliated many times from the recruitment
office, and her jewelry , which was a gift from
her last employer, whom she worked for 2 years,
was taken away from her ; the recruitment office
did not issue her a residence permit nor a work
permit. So she complained to the Public
Prosecutor, and he identified the complaint a
"Indecent assault, theft and abuse" so she did
not get any of her rights.

Jordan has a
strong commitment to combat human trafficking,
and had made a series of measurements in 2009 to
prevent human trafficking crime, among which was
passing the law no. (9), for preventing
trafficking in persons, setting a National
Committee for the prevention of Human
Trafficking, as well as drafting a plan and
guidelines for opening a shelter for trafficking
victims.
Tamkeen started implementing its
anti-trafficking program in 2009; an education,
prevention and direct services project to
address the needs of victims and to combat this
crime. Human Trafficking is a complex and
multifaceted phenomenon interwoven with sex
trafficking, labor migration, forced marriages,
bonded labor and other similar practices.
Under this
program, we seek to raise awareness among labor
inspectors, police, border officials, judges,
prosecutors, general public, as well as foreign
migrant workers in all sectors.
We develop
partnerships among local human rights NGOs, law
enforcement agencies and international
organizations, in an aim to enhance victim's
protection and criminal prosecution efforts for
punishment of traffickers and to prevent this
phenomenon from spreading. |
