AMMAN — The Domestic Helpers Recruitment Agencies Association (DHRAA) on Tuesday presented the insurance policies of foreign domestic helpers to their countries’ respective embassies to be applied as of next month.

The Labour Ministry endorsed the policies in March, according to DHRAA President, Khalid Hseinat, who underlined the importance of the insurance in guaranteeing the rights of domestic helpers and their recruiters.

Under the new compulsory insurance policy, recruiters of domestic workers will be compensated if the helpers escape or refuse to work, while the workers will be compensated in cases of deaths and injury.
