BEIRUT: Labor Minister Sejaan Azzi issued a decision Tuesday banning domestic worker recruitment offices from advertising their services, saying any violation would be prosecuted under human trafficking.
In a statement, the ministry said that recruitment offices advertise their work in newspapers, flyers and billboards and use phrases such as "we secure a maid ... the price for bringing her to the house ... you can pay cost in installments ... a 24-hour maid ... and maids at your request."
The minister also said that such advertisements violate the rules regulating the work of such offices because it gives these agencies a commercial feel.
"The ministry asks these offices to remove all advertisements related to domestic workers because they are demeaning and will consider them human trafficking and will sue the office accordingly.”
