ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The International Labour Organization would like to thank the NGO Heartland Alliance for contributing to the design, data collection and review of the study. This study was written by Hélène Harroff-Tavel and Alix Nasri. It is based on research carried out by the authors, with the valuable support of Zeinab Ribai, Hélène Bohyn and Ghada Sabbagh. Technical oversight of the research design and methodology was carried out by Michaëlle de Cock. Special thanks to the Chair of the Advisory Group, Azfar Khan, as well as to its members, including, from the ILO, Beate Andrees, Michaëlle de Cock, Hans van der Glind, Simel Esim, Gudrun Jevne, Mustapha Said and Marie- José Tayah, and from Heartland Alliance, Ramsey Ben-Achour and Olivia Gimeno. Caroline O’Reilly, Zafiris Tzannatos, Emanuela Pozzan, Patrick Daru, Rosinda Silva and Reham Rached from the ILO also shared their technical insights. Many people have contributed to this research endeavour. The authors extend their appreciation to all those who agreed to be interviewed, and acknowledge the support that the Ministries of Labour of Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) provided in facilitating the country visits. Special thanks to the Jordanian Anti-Trafficking National Committee, the National Committee to Combat Human Trafficking of the UAE, and Caritas Lebanon Migrant Centre for their assistance. Thanks also to Gillian Somerscales for copy-editorial input, Joseph Naim and Dany Achy for layout design and Nicolas Dahan for overseeing the printing of the study.
