Kuwait launches e-platform to educate migrant workers
The platform will be available in Arabic, English, Hindi, Filipino and Urdu
Kuwait City - Consists of a website and a mobile app that work mainly to address the ill-treatment suffered by the migrant workers
Khalid Al Ajmi, Chairman of the Kuwait Society for Human Rights, announced that the education would be done through cartoons and pictures as well as direct inquiry through the e-platform or hotline.
The e-platform consists of a website and an application for mobiles that work mainly to address the ill-treatment suffered by the migrant workers, provide them legal support as well as to monitor and document the abuses they are subjected to.
Its languages will be Arabic, English, Hindi, Filipino and Urdu, the daily said.
"The site ... stores information and data and protects the confidentiality of the users. It also provides lawyers the task of responding to all of the workers' inquiries and complaints."
The platform aims to educate migrant workers in Kuwait on the rights guaranteed by the local laws and international covenants and treaties as well as to provide legal advice in a language appropriate to them, the report said.
It will have information on organisations and embassies that accept workers' complaints and the procedures and type of assistance provided by them.
"The project aims at alleviating the violations suffered by migrant workers resulting mainly from the lack of awareness of their rights, especially domestic workers," the daily said.
