This Review of Laws, Policies and Regulations Governing Labor Migration in Asian and Arab States was undertaken by UN Women from a human rights and gender perspective. Gender and human rights in relation to migration are the minimum civil, cultural, economic, political, and social entitlements that every migrant worker, man or woman, should enjoy as human beings, in order to ensure human development, well-being, and empowerment. States, and increasingly non-state actors including the private sector, are obligated to respect migrant workers’ human rights, and in light of the feminization of migration, it is critical that stakeholders ensure that laws and policies are gender sensitive. A rights-based approach to migration uses human rights standards as a road map to identify problems faced by men and women workers throughout the migration cycle, The Convention for the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) guided this review. Jordan was one of these Arab states. This document was published in 2013.
