Qatar became the first country in the Middle East to host the World Cup but issues of human rights and migrant worker deaths have taken the shine off the famous gold trophy.
Editor’s note: At 2:37 we have updated the map to include the Indian-administered regions of Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh.

I’m from Bangladesh and thousands of people who are struggling go to Qatar hoping to feed their family. They are forced to work under harsh weather without any safety gears. Many people fall to death while working these jobs, many people are abused by the contractor who has their passport and threatening them of calling the police and getting them locked up. And the worst part is they barely make 10$ a day because the contractor who gets the payment for the employees takes majority of the money. I had a family member who was sent home in a casket after they used his money to book the flight home. The tragedy of these workers are endless

[@sogxinran]

the contractor will treat workers as they please because they know the world will blindly blame qatar rather than them

My dad was a victim of this kafala system in the UAE as a private driver for an Emarati family in 2008. His sponsor (an individual who happened to be an airport official) kept his passport and one fine day just cancelled his visa without any notice. He had 30 days to pack up and leave after living 30 years in the country. The worst part is the sponsor wouldn't give him his passport - he was handed the passport at the airport during departure and we realised later that he was placed on a permanent ban to not being able to re-enter the country again. I was left heartbroken and not sure how my father felt as he always hid his emotions and never opened up about it. I went to the local immigration office to find out the reason behind the ban and if it could be lifted but was told that the only way to lift the ban was by the sponsor. It almost felt like they knew what had happened but seemed like they couldn't do much about it. A country where I was born and raised, it felt like I had no place there although I speak local Emarati Arabic including reading and writing and also know the culture and traditions well. This left a permanent mark in my heart for which reason I left the country in 2016, never to set foot in it again. The entire gulf region behaves in a similar way with slight variations, some better or worse than others. In my experience, the people of Oman and Bahrain are more real in the sense they do not look down on people from those migrant nations.

[@VR-ro2fw]

In Qatar, government projects are awarded to big contractors - mostly managed by foreigners. They hire workers from overseas through agents in south East Asian countries. The agency takes fees from the companies/contractors. As a result Contractors expect the workers to not work elsewhere once the workers arrive in Qatar. The government cannot control every single recruitment happening in the private sector - which is run by foreigners themselves. For decades, workers have been coming to Qatar from south east Asia willingly (nobody forces them on planes). The workers knows that conditions in their countries (and in Europe) are worse than in Qatar. If the Europeans are sincere about those south East Asians, then they should hire them in Europe.

[@_blank-_]

First of all, they are South Asians, not South East Asians. Second, Qatar has absolutely the means to have an independent organization looking into these companies to be sure if workers are treated right. They allow it because their whole society is based on slave/migrant labor. Lazy and greedy asshoIes.

So many innocent workers died for fifa wc in Qatar and raising Dubai. Allah will never forgive them.

[@_Ben4810]

I worked for a very reputable civil engineering & construction company in the UK, long since gone but only this weekend I was reminded of two similar occasions in the early 1970's where they had employees driving to work in the morning & were involved in fatal road traffic accidents, one of them involving the death of three employees... What's this go to do with Qatar....? Well, for many, many years afterwards, the company remained in contact with the deceased workers' families, particularly at Christmas time. They were never forgotten. It was highly appreciated by the families & here it is still remembered 50 years later. & this is the long-standing problem in Qatar. A lack of compassion, decency & quality in the companies, starting at the very top with the local owners/partners & filtering down thru' their Arabic management. The continual desire to save money, especially on workers' accommodation, food, & site conditions for workers. It's too late now, the thousands of workers who have died, the locals who have got rich from accessing all the World Cup money, the Arabic management who have all skimmed-off money from suppliers involved in ANY & EVERY transaction, & the workers who've barely been able to improve their lives in most instances.

I'm east-european, and when i went to college (in my home country) i had a friend who would work summers picking fruit/veggies in the UK (early 2000's). The pay was good for him, and i thought for a while that i missed out on it, but he did tell me some interesting things. One of them was that he lived in the middle of nowhere on a farm, in squalid conditions, so bad that one of the other workers contracted pneumonia and died with the farmer doing nothing about it, refused to take him to hospital, i'm guessing so he would not be reported for it. He was friends with the local party (take a guess which one, rural area, farmers ...), local law and courts. There was no investigation, nothing. I don't know if he was buried there or not, but my friend never returned to the UK, he had a rather unkind view of the whole thing. So human trafficking and human abuses do in fact happen in the UK too, and under both labour and tories they look the other way. PS: It happens in Spain, Netherlands and Italy too, there there are other dangers. I didn't write this to humiliate you, just food for thought ... it happens in the best of places.

[@Horizon301.]

@@Milo-id9qd why do you think people support Brexit in regards to immigration? The reason citizens won’t do such jobs is because it is exploitation and the EU migration allowed this to continue, same goes for car washes and other industries that had a heavy use of EU workers. The argument that we need these workers is foolish as it serves as an excuse to let employers offer poor working conditions. Furthermore, companies often wouldn’t increase pay as they know foreign workers would deem it acceptable, even in reputable unskilled jobs but alas you see that it’s no longer being tolerated due to the more limited work force. Overall it’s going to lead to major improvements. The issue will remain though somewhat due to illegal immigration and other forms of exploitation by communities through visas etc like we see in Qatar etc. Thankfully the authorities aren’t engaged in a cover up though once it gets uncovered by the police. All in all, you can’t pretend to care about workers rights unless you believe in tough and secure measures when it comes to immigration to begin with.

For any host country to win a bid they need to have a design plan that allows them to recycle he stadium materials (after the event) and use the materials and property to build homes for low income or some other social good. These things have to be recycled and that should be a requirement going forward.
