About us

Tamkeen for Legal Aid and Human Rights is an independent Jordanian non-governmental civil society organization established in 2007 specializing in labor, migration and combating human trafficking. Tamkeen believes in the principles of equality, justice and human rights stipulated in international law, and adopts in its work a human rights-based approach that combines empowering rights holders and stakeholders and influencing duty bearers in order to reach lasting solutions that contribute to promoting and protecting the human rights of Jordanian workers, migrants and refugees, and the rights of victims of human trafficking.

What We Do

We support labor rights, labor movements, and the rights of Jordanian, migrant, and refugee workers while combating forced labor. This is achieved through networks of activists and advocates dedicated to championing and defending the rights of marginalized groups.

Our efforts include:

Providing legal services, consultations, and human rights education.
Advocacy campaigns, training programs, and analytical research and studies.
Media campaigns and awareness-raising activities.
Developing specialized programs to enhance human rights, improve legal services, identify effective solutions, and drive meaningful change to promote the rights of migrants, victims of human trafficking, and forced labor.
Raising awareness about human rights violations against Jordanian, migrant, and refugee workers, as well as victims of human trafficking.
Monitoring and documenting various aspects of exploitation and abuse, enhancing knowledge of prevention, protection mechanisms, and legal assistance, and empowering workers to enter the labor market.
