Study on Domestic Servitude in MENA Region

This research project will study domestic servitude primarily in the Middle East and North African (MENA) region, to 1) document specific enforcement and intervention programs in MENA destination countries and determine their impact on domestic servitude; and 2) identify regional strategies and actions to enhance the visibility of domestic servitude and that provide victims in individual MENA countries with greater opportunities for protection and justice.

In partnership with local stakeholders, including judges, prosecutors, police, Ministry officials, and service providers from the region, ABA will produce a study to increase prevention of domestic servitude, prosecution of cases, and protection of victims.
