JAKARTA: The Manpower and Transmigration Ministry has temporarily stopped Indonesians from being employed as domestic workers in Jordan, a ministry official said.
“We are currently in the middle of improving an internal system that will ensure protection and work placement for our domestic workers there,” spokesman Budi Hartawan said in a written statement Thursday.
The Indonesian embassy in Jordan is currently accomodating 238 troubled domestic workers in a temporary shelter. Jordan and Indonesia signed an agreement protect Indonesian domestic workers in June 2009, but outstanding issues remain. — JP
