Workers at the stadiums for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar are still being exploited according to Amnesty International
Labor migrants working in Qatar on stadiums for the 2022 World Cup soccer are still being exploited. Human rights organization Amnesty International published a report on the abuses on Thursday.
Last year, the human rights organization interviewed 231 workers who complain about filthy and cramped accommodation, deception about the nature and reward of work and intimidation. Forced labor was found at & eacute; & eacute; n company.
World Football Association FIFA has been promising for five years to tackle violations of workers' human rights, but Amnesty has found virtually no improvement to date. .
" The Qatari government remains apathetic and FIFA fails completely when it comes to the rights of the workers. The working conditions and the scanty payment are in terrible contrast with the generous salaries of the footballers who will play in Qatar, quoted Eduard Nazarski, director of Amnesty Nederland on Thursday.
Workers mainly come from Bangladesh, India and Nepal. Amnesty calls on major sponsors such as Adidas, Coca Cola and McDonald ' s to increase pressure on FIFA to prevent exploitation.
FIFA response
In a response to the report, FIFA says that addressing the issue as a " process " must be considered. The World Football Association is confident that there is a good basis for monitoring working conditions in Qatar.
" Of course, many challenges remain, but we are on the right track and determined to improve , to further contribute to the protection of workers' rights in the World Cup 2022 stadium projects. "
