Hotline for MDWD complaints 

The ministry of labor jointly with the National Commission for Lebanese Women (NCLW) launched on Friday a hotline (1741) to receive complaints of migrant women domestic workers in case of any emergency or need for assistance or consultation. An NCLW statement pointed out that the hotline is part of an awareness campaign aimed to help migrant workers and uphold their rights. Competent social workers, the statement added, will receive the calls in line with a specific mechanism set in coordination with ILO and several concerned organizations. MWDWs will get the psychological support they need to this effect. (NNA, July 10, 2020)
