International Labor Organization will work to increase awareness and the capacity of Jordanian government officials to combat labor trafficking and forced labor in the Qualified Industrial Zones by providing training and technical assistance. ILO will provide training material in Arabic on how to identify forced labor and trafficking; organize a two-day seminar for participants from the Ministries of Labor, Justice, and Interior, representatives from the legislature and judiciary, from the employer and worker organizations, NGOs, and the diplomatic community; and provide intensive training for law enforcement on recognizing trafficking victims and pursuing criminal prosecutions against traffickers. ILO will assist the government in establishing an inter-ministerial coordination body to enhance criminal investigation and prosecution of trafficking. The results of this project include 128 trained law enforcement officers, improved coordination between the Ministries of Labor, Justice, and Interior, and increased understanding of trafficking for labor exploitation.
