Jordan
Jordan is historically a country of origin and destination for migrant workers (MWs). According to the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, in 2020, international migrants (comprised of both migrants and refugees) made up approximately 34 per cent of the population living in Jordan. Refugees represent a significant part of this group and the Regional Refugee and Resilience Plan (3RP) enabled global coordinated support to refugees since the onset of the Syrian crisis in 2011. Meanwhile, lower attention has been provided to migrants in Jordan with few interventions specifically targeting MWs in Jordan. Moreover, available data remains scattered and incomplete and available studies and assessments often fail to include concrete steps and recommendations aimed at addressing the needs and improving conditions for MWs.
In light of the above, the objective of this project is to contribute to evidence-based governmental and non-governmental efforts to assist and respond to the needs of MWs in Jordan.
The project will seek to do so by making available anonymized data on migrant domestic worker (MDW) profiles and gender-sensitive needs to key governmental and non-governmental stakeholders (Output 1.1) and by formulating initial policy recommendations for addressing MDW gender-sensitive needs and vulnerabilities (Output 1.2). This project will represent a crucial first step in a longer-term strategic vision, as it will initiate a national dialogue to sensitize governmental and non-governmental actors in Jordan on the importance of migrant worker rights and promote further engagement in the area.
