In their response on Human Rights Watch’s question about accessibility of the Qiwa platform for migrant workers, Takamol Holding wrote, “Qiwa offers its services in six different languages to cater to the diverse linguistic needs of the workforce in Saudi Arabia. Qiwa also regularly conducts workshops, with a minimum of 50 sessions held annually. Additionally, a knowledge center on the Qiwa website provides detailed service explanations, frequently asked questions, and guidelines.”

Yet despite their indispensable contributions, Human Rights Watch has found, based on interviews with 156 current and former workers from Saudi Arabia or workers’ family members between 2023-2024, that migrant workers are facing widespread labor abuses across employment sectors and geographic regions. Saudi authorities are systematically failing to protect them from and remedy these abuses.
