Migrant workers in #Qatar still face:
Unpaid wages
Heavy debts from illegal recruitment fees
Excessive working hours
Struggles getting justice & compensation
A ban on joining trade unions
Verbal & physical abuse
Passport confiscation https://www.hrw.org/report/2020/08/24/how-can-we-work-without-wages/salary-abuses-facing-migrant-workers-ahead-qatars

This includes domestic workers, who might be far from the public gaze but are still a vital part of the workforce & some of the most vulnerable workers in #Qatar .
They mustn't be left behind in reforms https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2020/10/qatar-domestic-worker-abuse-and-exploitation-report/

With #Qatar2022 kick-off edging closer, #Qatar must urgently take further action to guarantee wages, ensure access to justice, hold abusive employers to account & protect domestic workers.

The #FIFA World Cup should leave a positive legacy for all migrant workers.
