Closure of 12 MWDW recruitment agencies following serious complaints

Minister of Labor, Sajaan Azzi, issued Tuesday a new decision to close 12 agencies across Lebanon that recruit migrant women domestic workers (MWDW). The move comes as part of the Ministry’s on-going efforts to regulate and organize the work of these agencies and follows a series of complaints of bribery and mishandling of funds.
