Graphic Designer Consultant

Background Information

In July 2018, Oxfam in Lebanon, the Legal Agenda and the Lebanese Observatory for Workers’ and Employees’ Rights, with the support of the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation, and as part of the My Work, My Rights! project[1] launched an informal network of civil society organizations to advocate for improved protection for individuals involved in the formal and informal labour market in accordance with international human rights law, workers’ rights and labor safeguards.

The Network is currently working on three platforms, each platform representing one of the three Network objectives.

Platform 1

Network Objective: Develop the legislative framework on labour rights in conformity with international treaties.

Sub- Objective: Abolish Article 7 of the Labour Law which excludes four categories of workers.

Platform 2

Network Objective: Develop and enforce labour protection mechanisms

Sub- Objective: Strengthen the NSSF by ensuring that employees are being registered with the correct stated salaries and the 3% quota of people with disabilities is being implemented.

Platform 3

Network Objective: Facilitate workers’ access to justice and strengthening legal mechanisms

Sub- Objective: Ensure the Arbitration Labour Councils issue and act upon rulings within a reasonable timeframe. 

In particular platform 3 has agreed to publish a simple infographic on what the procedures are, when putting a complaint forward at the arbitration councils. The intended audience of this infographic will be for workers (the categories of workers that it will cover will be agreed on with the Platform) and for lawyers and judges who are not specialized in the field of labour.

Network members will be asked to circulate the infographic on their social media platforms to ensure wide outreach to workers. It may also be published in Legal Agenda’s Special Edition Magazine[2] which is a special issue of Legal Agenda dedicated to the right to work in Lebanon and its related issues and problematics.
