Civic enforcement is a form of law enforcement which does not go through the court or official enforcement bodies. It includes shaming employers and job brokers who violate worker rights, and exposing employers who have been fined or charged for labour law violations. Its aim is to empower workers and encourage consumer action so as to prevent further rights violations.

Kav LaOved (Worker's Hotline) is a nonprofit non governmental organization committed to protecting the rights of disadvantaged workers employed in Israel and by Israelis in the Occupied Territories, including Palestinians, migrant workers, subcontracted workers and new immigrants. Kav LaOved is committed to principles of democracy, equality and international law concerning human and social rights.
