Saudi has just announced its National Policy for the Elimination of Forced Labor, and it’s a game-changer!

Designed to protect the rights of residents and workers, this policy marks a significant milestone in creating safer workplaces across the Kingdom.

“This move demonstrates our dedication to fostering a fair and secure environment for everyone who lives and works here,” said Sattam Alharbi, Deputy Minister for Control and Development of the Work Environment.

What makes this policy stand out? It builds on Saudi Arabia’s groundbreaking 2021 decision to ratify the International Labour Organization’s Protocol of 2014, making it the first GCC nation to take this important step

The policy also introduces victim-focused initiatives, offering legal, social, and financial support for those affected by forced labor, ensuring they can recover and thrive.
