The Commissioner's Unit designated the raising of awareness about this issue as one of its goals for 2022 to be achieved via a joint study together with The Institute for Immigration and Social Integration at the Ruppin Academic Center, and various posts and publications. Following the instruction of the Chairwoman of the Knesset Foreign Workers Committee, an interdepartmental team began operating in 2021. This topic is presented in detail in the Regularization Chapter.
