Working with more than 300 labor unions, pro-worker nongovernmental organizations, legal aid groups, human rights defenders, women's associations, and advocacy coalitions around the world, in more than sixty countries—including Jordan and Morocco—Solidarity Center's professional staff of more than 200 support and stand in solidarity with social-change activists around the world as they strive to build a global network of worker rights defenders and exercise their rights, including organizing for safer work sites, demanding living wages and improving laws (and the enforcement of existing laws) that protect working people, and fighting exploitation and abuse, and stand as a force for shared prosperity and inclusive economic development. Under the Global Labor Program—a five-year cooperative effort by the Solidarity Center and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) to promote worker rights, gender equality and democracy worldwide—Solidarity Center’s Middle East and North Africa (MENA) regional program provides training, mentorship and legal support to migrant domestic workers, with an emphasis on broadening and strengthening labor protections and empowering some of the region’s most marginalized workers.
