We hope these posts gave you some insight and push you to learn more about the reality of Qatar in the preparations for the World Cup 2022.

We can't close our eyes to the world around us, we all belong here, we are all humans and we share the same rights.

Human Rights are not optional. Spread the word

The news has been spread for many years, many organizations are fighting the situation in #Qatar and investigation has been done.

It is disturbing how big enterprises are sponsoring this event despite all the media and investigations done in the field.

It is when we choose to close our eyes to the reality around us and prioritize money over human lives, that exploitation and slavery environments are created, developed and succeed!

Get informed and join the campaign #PlayForFreedom . Do you think FIFA is playing fair?

If Sam* (31) had known what it was like to work in Qatar, he wouldn’t have left Kenya.

"If I could turn back time, maybe I would have gone to Canada or Australia,” he told @euronews.tv .

Seven years ago, Sam said goodbye to his wife and toddler back home. Since then he has been a security guard on Qatar’s many construction sites, as the country gears up to host the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

He's a football fan and even took part in a football tournament just for migrant workers. But now, he feels stuck.

At least, during the COVID-19 pandemic, he still has a job and can make some money to send back home. Back in Kenya, he says, the government doesn’t financially support its citizens during these times and there are no jobs. It’s the lesser of two evils for Sam to stay and work in Qatar.

He is one of more than two million migrant workers in Qatar, making up around 95% of its total labour force - a huge number, given the country’s entire population of 2.6 million. Many come from India, Nepal, the Philippines, Bangladesh, Kenya, and Uganda to seek better income opportunities.

These workers aren’t only responsible for building the stadiums for the World Cup 2022: they are the drivers, the cleaners, the bartenders, chefs, check-in staff and occupy many other essential professions in Qatar’s economy. Even if you weren’t travelling to Qatar to see a football match, you’ll be interacting with migrant workers most of the time.

This is outrageous and inhumane! The workers building the World Cup Qatar 2022 are denied free drinking water, despite working many hours in super high temperatures!

This has been going on for many years and we barely hear about it.
The World Cup is next year so make sure everyone knows about it.

Is FIFA playing fair?...
Would you like to attend an event built in slave work?

The FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 is being built on slave work! 

Human Rights Watch found that Qatar has one of the most restrictive sponsorship laws in the Gulf region, as workers cannot change jobs without their employer’s permission, regardless of whether they have worked two years or 20, and all workers must get their sponsoring employer to sign an “exit permit” before they can leave the country. 

Migrant workers comprise a staggering 94% of Qatar’s workforce, and the country has the highest ratio of migrants to citizens in the world. The country may recruit up to a million additional migrant construction workers in the next decade to build the stadiums and infrastructure improvements Qatar promised in its bid to host the 2022 FIFA World Cup soccer tournament.

Your name is Sumon and you live in a small village in rural Bangladesh. One day you’re visited by an acquaintance you’ve known since childhood, who has an opportunity. He’s recruiting for a clerical job and he wants you!

He’ll take care of everything. The promised salary - $400 dollars US a month - is literally more money than you’ve seen before in your life.

He works for the local government. He wants to help. A fresh start, financial security, a better future for your family. Besides, what’s the alternative? Stay in your village and slowly get old?

So you sign.

Alas, when you land in Doha, the goalposts have shifted slightly.

You’re not working as a clerk in an office, you’re building a football stadium.

The recruitment fee isn’t $200 as you’d agreed, but $2000, plus the cost of your flight to Qatar. Your crisp new passport is confiscated. You cannot quit your job. You cannot leave the country. And before you have even clocked in for your first shift, you owe your employer the equivalent of two years’ wages.

It is a world of instability and euphemism. Really, you’re not an employee at all, but an indentured labourer. And really, you’re not building a football stadium. You’re building a mausoleum.
