tabling member printed	Lord Alton of Liverpool
uin	HL4436
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/05/2024 answer text <p>The <em>'kafala'</em> system (sponsorship) has been the source of many allegations of human rights abuses in the Gulf states and Middle East. We have seen some progress in recent years to address these issues. Qatar introduced legislation protecting labour rights particularly for migrant workers in 2020. Saudi Arabia introduced a Domestic Workers Regulation that will be enacted from September 2024. Jordan and Kuwait signed the '<em>Prime Ministers Call for Action to end forced labour, modern slavery and human trafficking in 2017', </em>whilst Oman joined the Arab Charter on Human Rights in 2022. We remain committed to supporting efforts to implement these changes and improve labour rights in the Gulf States and Middle East.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 22/05/2024 16:53:50 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
