"Workers' centre proves an essential lifeline for migrants", 07 Oct 2014

Since it opened in Al Hassan Industrial Zone late last year, the [workers'] centre has quickly become an integral part of many migrant workers’ lives. It was originally conceived by Better Work Jordan, a joint initiative between the International Labour Organisation (ILO) and the International Finance Corporation to improve the living and working conditions of the tens of thousands of workers employed in Jordan’s fast growing garment industry.

Support for the centre also came from USAID, the Jordan Industrial Estates Corporation, the Irbid Chamber of Industry, the General Trade Union for Garment and Textile Industries, and the Jordan Garment, Accessories and Textiles Exporters Association. Local apparel factories and several international garment brands working in Jordan joined the project.
