Description
This year, the FIFA World Cup will kick off in the Middle East for the first time in footballing history. However, the decision to award the World Cup hosting rights to a scorching Gulf state with a poor human rights record has caused massive uncertainty, suspicion, and indignation. In the 10 years since Qatar was awarded the right to host the World Cup, the country has been relying heavily on migrant workers, and there has been widespread exploitation and mistreatment of these migrant workers, with workers being subjected to forced labor, unpaid wages, and long working hours. The Qatari government should ensure that all migrant workers have access to proper living and working conditions, as well as ensuring that their human, social, and economic rights are respected.
