contents A mapping of migrant resource centers in the Arab States ILO Regional Office for the Arab States. Migrant workers in the Arab States are commonly isolated by language barriers, by the remote nature of their workplaces and accommodation (whether private homes, construction sites or rural farms) and their long hours of work. Having a welcoming, common space for them to meet and interact during their (limited) free time is an important basic right which can support their mental and physical health; and can be an entry point for providing much needed services, as well as a potential opportunity for engagement with workers’ representatives. This brief mapping exercise identifies and analyses six migrant resource centres in the Arab States and examines how the centres were established, their objectives and activities and how they are run and funded. The mapping also collects information on what the centres themselves see as the achievements and challenges of their work, providing important lessons for future initiatives to establish and run such centres.
