The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) imposed a total deployment ban for OFWs bound for Kuwait. The ban covers all types of workers being deployed for the first time, regardless of their skill, profession, or type of work. The deployment ban is in response to the directive of President Rodrigo Duterte due to a number of cases of deaths and abuses of overseas Filipino workers (OFW) in Kuwait. As the ban is extended indefinitely, OWWA is set to give cash assistance to affected OFWs.
