Labor Ministry: Over 1,000 women run away in 2023

Reports indicate that the Jordanian Ministry of Labour has conducted a widespread campaign to pursue runaway domestic workers, resulting in the arrest of over 300 women since the beginning of the year. Additionally, more than 1,000 runaway workers have been reported. The campaign focuses on inspecting places of residence and tracking down helpers attempting to escape. It implements strict regulatory measures, including fines of up to 800 Jordanian dinars for those found with migrant workers in violation. Moreover, four buses transporting 200 domestic workers were stopped; 56 of these workers had previous escape reports and legal cases, and they were detained at security centers in cooperation with security agencies. These measures are part of a plan to regulate the labor market and strengthen oversight of illegal non-Jordanian workers, along with a call to avoid dealing with runaway workers and to report violations to prevent legal prosecution.
