Approximately 24,600 migrant workers in Israel are employed in the agricultural sector. Although the majority of the workers arrive from Thailand, a small number come from Sri Lanka and Nepal. Each year Kav LaOved assists approximately 3,000 agricultural workers who are deprived of fair employment terms and conditions. Through face-to-face consultations, field outreach, a telephone hotline, informational materials, and our Facebook group (all in Thai), and Thai-speaking field workers, the organization informs thousands of agricultural workers of their employment rights, utilizing a “knowledge is power” approach to this workforce.
