International unions, the ITUC and BWI, have issued a formal complaint to the International Labour Organisation, presenting evidence that Qatar is breaching global freedom of association standards by refusing to recognise the rights of migrant workers. Watch these Nepalese workers talk about what working life in Qatar is really like.

amazing how people act tough behind their tiny screens while in real life they will be the first chicken out .. lets just agree to disagree since this never gonna end
Armis Game
tell it to the people before they go to Qatar see if it makes a difference — what they know is millions of their country men are making millions of dollars in Qatar and send it to their respective countries, they know about the problems and deaths hear and there but it doesn’t stop them because they are looking at the greater probability, not the lesser probability. What they know for sure is if they do nothing, and remain in their own country, they are assured of NOTHING.
Do7a
nice speech .. now put all the words you said in action and GL
Armis Game
Yeah, and given to a county with NO labor issues The only reason there are labor unions, labor laws, and labor lawyers is because of abuses, furthermore, the only reason they remain is because the abuses are never ending. Those who go to Qatar in 2022 will experience something that no other World Cup audience has ever experienced — outdoor air conditioning of a whole stadium.
Md Shabbir
the main culprits are the agents overseas placement Consultancies in india nepal they just take contracts and send there own countrimens without any care
Do7a
lets just agree to disagree and end this discussion 🙂
Acehnese Nomad
and ‘Maybe’ if you give the passports back to the owners + exit permit, millions of people would leave this country and you would have NOTHING to build.

I am working in Qatar and I have never regret Qatar is the best God bless Qatar.

people why don’t you understand the situation, this is life people work hard to be able to support there family, what can QATAR do to the wether? its the environment, and regarding the rights, they do have rights, they work like normal people they are provided with accommodation, they are provided with food and they are allowed to do  what ever they want wen they finish the job allocated to them, if its about the money it simple, rise the salary, cut the tickets, visa fees, accommodation and food!
Acehnese Nomad
You’re definitely losing it after your divorce. You’re writing in capitals as if you’re screaming. 2 years in Doha will not give you enough knowledge about the locals here and how they treat most laborers. I’ve been over a decade in Doha, I work in construction industry for 6 years and I have seen how these men are treated.

The Qatar World Cup 2022 stadiums and infrastructure are being built by Nepalese men employed in Qatar’s construction industry who work for little or no pay. Appalling living conditions and unsafe employment are not the only difficulties they face: there is pressure and disbelief from families in Nepal when no money is sent back home.

4 Migrant Workers in Qatar – Trapped in Slave-like conditions as they work for World Cup 2022

Back to menu     IMPORTANT CONTENT

8 jun. 2019

How migrant workers are being exploited in Qatar. Due to the documentary “TRAPPED IN QATAR” FIFA has for the first time admitted a violation in workers’ standards as Qatar prepares for the FIFA 2022 World Cup. The revelation comes following this investigative report by Benjamin Best for German broadcaster WDR. Broadcasted June 5th 2019. WDR journalist Benjamin Best went to Qatar undercover without the approval of the Qatari government, armed with a hidden camera, to shed light on slave like conditions and the human cost of the 2022 World Cup.
 
It’s another troubling development surrounding the working conditions in Qatar for workers, which have been heavily criticized for several years by unions and human rights groups alike.
 
While a lack of pay, terrible housing conditions and lack of food were recurring themes, so too were the deaths of migrant workers. The Nepali government granted WDR’s request for official data regarding Nepali workers in Qatar, which showed that 1,426 had passed away between 2009 and 2019.

Migrant workers building Khalifa International Stadium in Doha for the 2022 World Cup have suffered systematic abuses, in some cases forced labour, Amnesty International reveals in a new report.
 
The report, “The ugly side of the beautiful game: Labour exploitation on a Qatar 2022 World Cup venue”, blasts FIFA’s shocking indifference to appalling treatment of migrant workers. The number of people working on World Cup sites is set to surge almost ten-fold to around 36,000 in the next two years.

8 Should Qatar Be Stripped Of The World Cup?

Back to menu        IMPORTANT CONTENT

8 jun. 2015

Slaves to the Beautiful Game: Following the corruption scandal and in light of the horrific conditions of its preparation, is it time to strip Qatar of the football world cup?
 

The scandal surrounding FIFA corruption has focused fresh attention on migrant workers who have died building stadiums for the 2022 World Cup. This report reveals the shocking conditions endured by workers.

The lead up to the World Cup has been enshrouded in scandal at every turn. With reports that over 1200 have died in Qatar already, the reality of the World Cup for those building the stadiums is far from glamorous. “They live in squalor… They’re owned by another individual, lock, stock and barrel – that’s slavery”, says Sharan Burrow, head of the International Trade Union Confederation. Burrow takes ABC on a tour of a hostel of Nepalese migrants, who work six days a week for 12 hours a day, with no paid overtime. “They just send you back when they decide you’ve finished”, explains one worker. Under the Kafala system in Qatar, workers need permission from their employers before they can leave the country. “The workers here can be physically and verbally abused… they can be stuck in detention centres or they can be kicked back home”, says Mustafa Qadri from Amnesty International. Even footballer Abdes Ouaddou was a victim of Kafala. After being hired to play in the Qatari league, he was denied an exit visa. Expressing his outrage, Abdes says: “How can such a prestigious, popular competition take place in a country that doesn’t respect human rights or the law?”

Should Qatar Host The World Cup? – The reality of abuse and exploitation for Qatar’s migrant workforce.

Discover the Hidden Brutality Of Qatar’s FIFA World Cup Preparations : https://youtu.be/LdrAd-44LW0

“We have been here for two months […] for two months we haven’t been given beds.” Such is life for a migrant worker. Lured to Qatar by the promise of good salaries and regular trips home – they have their passports confiscated on arrival, and their wages slashed. Some work seven days a week, fifteen hours a day, returning home to overcrowded slums where even stray animals struggle to survive.

The 2022 World Cup in Qatar will cost the country $200 billion, and for the contractors charged with making it happen – finance is all that matters. “They don’t care how many die, only how much they get” claims one insider.

Yet despite the appalling conditions, some are better off in Qatar than back home. “This is our life. In my country there is no work. Too much corruption. No money, no work.”

12 How Qatar built stadiums with forced labor

Back to menu        IMPORTANT CONTENT

 

1 dec 2022

And hurt thousands of migrant workers


Ever since Qatar won the rights to host the FIFA World Cup in 2010, its treatment of migrant workers has made international headlines. News stories and human rights organizations revealed migrant workers who built the stadiums, hotels, and all the new infrastructure required for the World Cup were being forced to work, not getting paid, unable to leave, and in some cases, dying.

At the heart of the abuse faced by migrant workers is the kafala system. A system prevalent in Gulf states that ties workers to their sponsors, it often gives sponsors almost total control of migrant workers’ employment and immigration status.

Due to all the scrutiny Qatar has been under, some reforms have been put in place, but the kafala system is more than a law — it’s a practice. And while these reforms exist on paper, human rights organizations say there’s still a long way to go.

To understand how hundreds of thousands of migrant workers were stuck in an exploitative system while building the stadiums for the World Cup, watch our 10-minute video above.

Qatar’s World Cup Slaves: The devastating truth about Qatar’s world cup bid.

 

In Qatar, 4000 workers will die to put on the 2022 Football World Cup. This staggering figure indicates the slave-like conditions the builders of football’s most expensive construction project are enduring. 

Workers won’t speak out for fear of being fired, but for some, hopelessness outweighs the fear. Qatari labourers building for the 2022 World Cup are forced into long hours on the side of roads or inside factories in the sweltering heat. Their living situations are just as trying: “We have been here for 2 months. And for 2 months we haven’t been given beds.” These workers entered into pseudo slavery due the loans they took to travel that they can’t afford to pay back, as the hope of the income they were promised was a lie. They can’t return home, and if they’re sick “the company cut their salary for going to the hospital”. Take an inside look at the conditions of these impoverished and undervalued workers, who risk overworking to the point of death for fear of unemployment.

Migrant workers building the first stadium for Qatar’s 2022 World Cup have been earning as little as 45p an hour, the Guardian can reveal.
 
The pay rate appears to be in breach of the tournament organisers’ own worker welfare rules and comes despite the Gulf kingdom spending £134bn on infrastructure ahead of the competition.
 
World Cup Slaves ► http://is.gd/qatarworkers
More than 100 workers from some of the world’s poorest countries are labouring in ferocious desert heat on the 40,000-seat al-Wakrah stadium, which has been designed by the British architect Zaha Hadid and is due to host a quarter-final.
 
Qatar’s unpaid World Cup workers ► http://is.gd/qatar2022unpaid
Pay slips show they are toiling up to 30 days a month for as little as £4.90 a day. The rates are among the lowest the Guardian found during a week-long investigation into conditions for migrant labourers across Qatar’s construction industry, and come despite pledges by the tournament’s organisers to make workers’ rights “our top priority”.

18 Migrant workers mistreated in Qatar

Back to menu

12 jun. 2012


Qatar, a tiny Gulf monarchy, might be known worldwide for its stunning wealth, ambitious Middle Eastern diplomacy and unprecedented winning bid to host a World Cup, but beneath the country’s lightspeed rise to prominence lies a class of unprotected, often forgotten migrant construction workers whose lives often amount to forced labour.

The workers, most of whom have immigrated to Qatar from South Asia, say many are lured by irresponsible companies who make false promises of big salaries and good conditions before withholding paychecks and taking away passports once the workers arrive.

Qatari law requires that wages be paid on time and housing meet minimum standards of comfort, but most companies are never forced to comply, according to a new Human Rights Watch report. Qatar does not have a minimum wage, has not signed key international human rights agreements and prohibits unions, the report said.

20 Qatar: Killer Heat Cripples Workers


Back to menu

10 jun. 2022

Qatar is rapidly heating to extreme temperatures. From deaths and chronic diseases among migrants workers, to disastrous sports events, the rising temperature in the Gulf is both disruptive and deadly.
 
As a result of climate change, temperatures in the Gulf are rising at twice the global average – with temperatures regularly reaching 50C. ‘Above 40C, the body’s normal working mechanism starts to disintegrate’, explains cardiologist, Dr Ratna Mani Gajurel. For wealthy citizens, air conditioning is readily available. But for the Gulf’s over 14 million migrant workers, remaining cool is a challenge. Sita Magar’s husband Dhar left Nepal for work in Qatar. In 2021, he died aged just 31. ‘He was always sweating when we video chatted’, says Sita. ‘The heat made his nose bleed’. His death was attributed to ‘cardiac arrest’. But Dr Gajurel suspects extreme heat was to blame: ‘any migrant worker who works continually to the point of exhaustion in 40C or more has a high chance of sudden death’. Meanwhile, even athletes at the pinnacle of health have been impacted by the heat. In the 2019 World Athletics Championships, nearly half of the competitors had to drop out of the women’s marathon due to the extreme temperatures. ‘The air was like a fiery furnace’, says marathon coach Haji Adelo.

It’s a scandal that has gripped the footballing community over the past 10 years, and which spans far beyond the board rooms in which it was bid for: the 2022 World Cup. In spite of accusations of bribery to have initally won the bidding, Qatar has pushed ahead with construction of 9 new stadiums and the upgrade of 3. This has come at a scandalous cost: according to a report by the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC), at least 522 Nepalese and more than 700 Indian migrant workers have died since construction began, with Amnesty International and The Guardian predicting that up to 4,000 workers will have died the first World Cup ball is kicked in 2022. Furthermore, extensive human rights abuses have been documented: passports withheld, wages being reduced beyond what was promised, squalid living conditions, forced labour, and blocked exits from the country. Many workers have drawn comparisons between their work and prison life. We sit down to talk to two former workers about the mistreatment they suffered in Qatar.

Inside The 8 Amazing World Cup 2022 Qatar Stadiums

The Arab States are renowned for their spectacular and monumental architecture. Think of the Burj Khalifa and Palm Islands in Dubai, the Louvre Museum in Abu Dhabi, and the 10,000-room hotel being built in Mecca.

Fuelled by these states’ immense oil wealth, they’re constructing buildings with a scale and ambition unparalleled anywhere in the world. The Qatar 2022 World Cup is no exception.

Despite being the smallest nation ever to host the football tournament, they’ve gone all out creating eight breathtaking stadiums – the envy of the world. All the stadiums are powered by solar-panel farms, and, given Qatar’s scorching climate, their cooling systems have been meticulously designed. After all, fainting football superstars do not make the best headlines.

In fact, Qatar’s dedication to sound environmental practices earned all the stadiums four or five stars from the Global Sustainability Assessment System. It’s all very impressive.

Let’s take a tour around these eight modern marvels. We’re exploring how they were made, what they cost, and the unbelievable story behind each.

Qatar’s hosting of the upcoming 2022 World Cup has attracted thousands of migrant workers to build stadiums and other infrastructure. These foreigners left everything behind in search of a better life. But once in Qatar, they often experienced exploitation: unpaid wages, confiscated passports and extreme working conditions that have led to several thousand deaths, according to various NGOs. Some migrant workers agreed to speak to our reporters Chloé Domat and Rammohan Pateriya for this special full-length report. They explain how their Qatari dream has turned into a nightmare, even if Doha also offers some opportunities for upward social mobility.

Qatar World Cup 2022, FIFA, #fifaundercovered

#FIFA, the largest #soccer organization in the world, is responsible for organizing the #WorldCup as well as other international soccer championships. The World Cup is played again every four years, and each time it is held in a different nation. In 2018 it was hosted in Russia, while this year it will take place in #Qatar.

This outcome is one of the most highly controversial choices in soccer history, which is why the news went viral. A questionable choice given that Qatar has never qualified for an international competition and that the tournament had to be shifted to the winter because of the country’s extremely hot summers.

It has since come to light that #FIFA selected #Qatar for completely different reasons, and they are now being accused of some truly shocking activities like corruption and the violation of human rights. So what is the truth, and how can FIFA get away with it, if it is really that bad? Is it even socially correct to broadcast this World Cup on national TV or does that make us all approve this form of modern slavery? This video is a journey into the dark world behind the 2022 World Cup…. A look behind the curtain into one of the most controversial organizations ever. But to fully understand the story, we must first go back to the moment where it all began….

Plagued with accusations of worker abuse, homophobia, sexism, racism and corruption since FIFA awarded them the World Cup 12 years ago, Qatar has had to answer for thousands of harrowing accounts of exploitation, mostly of South Asian migrant workers, toiling for long hours in intense heat to build the glittering new stadiums, hotels, roads and airports in place to welcome an expected 1.2 million visitors. We put the question to our panel, including journalist Chloé Domat, who has filmed a full-length documentary on the issue.

22 nov 2022

The 2022 Soccer World Cup in Qatar is hugely controversial. The allegations range from corruption in the awarding of the tournament to Qatar to harsh criticism of the host nation for its human rights record, and its World Cup carbon emissions.

Even as the World Cup gets underway, there’s been no letup in the criticism. The decision to hold the prestigious sports event in the middle of the desert, in the small Gulf state of Qatar, has been controversial from the start. FIFA officials are accused of accepting bribes to award hosting rights to Qatar. Qatar itself, meanwhile, is accused of exploiting hundreds of thousands of migrant workers to build its World Cup stadiums. Then there are the huge carbon emissions. The tournament was moved to winter to avoid Qatar’s summer temperatures of 50+ degrees Celsius. But even in November, the stadiums need significant air conditioning.

Journalist Christa Hofmann shows how the conservative Muslim emirate is looking to establish itself on the global stage with mega sports events like the World Cup. She visited the newly built stadiums and spoke with migrant workers – as well as Qatari officials, World Cup fan representatives, and Qatar and Middle East analysts.

On the surface, Qatar is a dazzling and colorful Arab country, home to sheikhs and big business. But migrant workers without Qatari citizenship make up nearly 90% of Qatar’s total population – the highest such rate in the world.

Anyone traveling to Qatar arrives with plenty of prejudices: that it is a corrupt, filthy-rich emirate full of forced laborers who have no rights; that it is home to businessmen whose practices are, at best, questionable. But for the Qataris themselves, and the millions of guest workers from all over the world who live there, the picture is more nuanced. Yes, Qatar is a dictatorship with an emir who enjoys almost unlimited power. But at the same time, Qatar is remarkably open and progressive. The emirate is tiny, and yet tremendously fascinating – with its vast desert landscapes, its bizarrely-shaped mountains and its picturesque sandy beaches.

The Human Cost of the Qatar World Cup

In 2010, Qatar made history by becoming the first Arab country to be awarded the FIFA World Cup. The tiny nation beat out stiff competition from the United States, Australia, Japan, and South Korea to win the right to host the world’s biggest sporting event in 2022. But there’s a dark side to Qatar’s World Cup preparations that often goes unnoticed. Since Qatar was awarded the tournament in 2010, it is estimated that over 6,500 migrant workers have died while working on World Cup-related projects. So, how did Qatar win the bid? Let’s take a look.
