A/HRC/44/57/Add.33 11) In 2019 the Ministry of Administrative Development, Labour, and Social Affairs launched a social media campaign for raising awareness. It included messages on workers' right to hold their own passports. 12) Statistics on complaints of workers' passports confiscation by recruiters for the years 2016, 2017 and 2018: No Statement 2016 2017 2018 1 Number of complaints of workers’ passports confiscation by recruiters 738 346 247 2 Number of complaints of workers’ passports referred to prosecution 100 82 37 13) It is notable that a number of complaints related to the confiscation of passports is constantly decreasing, and this indicates the employer's keenness to abide by the provisions of the law represented in the penalties imposed on the employer for the confiscation of workers' passports. That is in addition to the increasing level of oversight in terms of inspection to ensure effective enforcement of legislation relevant with combating human trafficking, and to the high level of workers' awareness of the provisions of the Labor Law, including their ability to access the competent authorities and submit complaints. As such, confiscating passports is no longer an effective way for employers to exercise control over employees as before. 14) Other patterns for the protection of domestic workers • Article (52) of the Constitution stipulates that “Every person, legally residing in the State, enjoys protection of his person and property, according to the provisions of the law”, and the legal protection provided by the security services under both Penal Code and Criminal Procedures Law, as well as enabling domestic workers to file complaints (Equity and Confidence-Building Program). • The legislator has also provided protection to this category in the Qatari Penal Code promulgated by Law No. (11) of 2004, which punishes anyone who performs physical harm, cruel treatment, or economic exploitation of a person in a vulnerable position. • Qatar Foundation for Social Work (QFSW) launched the "Center for Comprehensive Safety" affiliated to the Center for Protection and Social Rehabilitation "AMAN" one of the centers under the umbrella of QFSW, which represents an integrated shelter and a comprehensive social and health environment for protection and rehabilitation services for the targeted groups, including victims of human trafficking. The residential home is an integrated complex consisting of more than 30 real estate units dedicated and equipped with comprehensive accommodation services, providing its guests with the "temporary" accommodation service accompanying a well-thoughtout rehabilitation plan. Some of the aforementioned units are specifically designated for victims of trafficking - both male and female, each of them is capable of taking care for 20 persons. The process of accommodation begins with four basic stages, which start with the reception phase that deals with the initial evaluation of each case and determining its need of shelter, then comes the admission stage which defines the rights, duties and requirements necessary to house the victim, then comes the stage of the rehabilitation plan which sets the detailed framework for the rehabilitation phase inside the home, and at last the stage of integration into the family, which is represented in returning the visitor to his natural environment in his/her family and society. These procedures are in line with the Rapporteur’s recommendations No. (67) (e). • There is nothing which is so-called crime of absconding in Qatari legislation. The notification that the employer makes is to disclaim his liability towards the worker 12
