JORDAN-PHILIPPINES-SRILANKA-LABOUR-ABUSE-RIGHTS

TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY MUSA HATTAR A Filipina woman residing in Jordan walks under the rain with an umbrella near central Amman on December 21, 2012. In October, the Philippines lifted a ban imposed in 2007 on its citizens working in Jordan after the two countries signed deals to protect them, including guaranteeing a minimum monthly salary of $400. The ban had been imposed because of "the growing number of distressed Filipino workers" seeking help from diplomatic offices in Jordan, according to Manila. But despite the accords, abuse is still reported. AFP PHOTO/KHALIL MAZRAAWI (Photo credit should read KHALIL MAZRAAWI/AFP via Getty Images)
