"Football associations have a great opportunity to use their leverage to call on @FIFAcom and Qatar to meet their human rights obligations, including reparations for the loss of migrant workers’ lives and livelihoods" https://t.co/caChvClQJS

As Americas coalition calls on @FIFAcom to respect worker rights for #WorldCup2026, @hrw reports on how migrant workers have been sidelined ahead of #Qatar2022: https://t.co/caChvClQJS

[Centro de los Derechos del Migrante @CDMigrante]

There's a history of labor and human rights abuses around prior World Cup tournaments. Now is the time for @FIFA to respect the people who make the World Cup possible. #WorldCup2026 #FairPlayFIFA2026 #FIFA

في تحقيقها "العرق المسروق.. عبودية ترسخها القوانين: سرقة أجور العمالة المهاجرة في الخليج" تكشف الصحفية هناء بوحجي عن مؤشرات العمل الإجباري التي تعتبر من أشكال الاتجار بالبشر، كما تتطرق إلى نظام الكفالة والثغرات في أنظمة حماية الأجور.

زملاء صدّيق الـ18 انتهت صلاحية إقاماتهم
مستحقاتهم تتراوح ما بين 7000 و 108 آلاف دولار، أما مجموع هذه المستحقات فبلغ 526 ألف دولار، أي ما يعادل قيمة إنشاء فيلا متوسطة الحجم بمساحة 500 متر مربع في الخليج.

ولكن الشركة الكبرى تحجب عنهم هذه المستحقات

عام 1982، جاء صدّيق شهاب إلى الخليج من الهند للعمل في شركة مقاولات بهدف جمع مصاريف الزواج
لكنه لم يعلم أنه بعد 39 عاما سيعود لعائلته بعد أن ظل خلال آخر 18 شهرا من دون أجر
قصة صدّيق واحدة من مئات آلاف قصص العمالة المهاجرة في الخليج .. والتي تعرف بـ "سرقة الأجور"

«How is it that you were able to track me down, apprehend, detain, and penalise me because of my free speech, yet you can’t do the same to those nefarious employers who physically and sexually abuse their domestic workers?»

This research should be a wakeup call to football teams, corporate sponsors and the one million visitors headed to Qatar for the 2022 World Cup - sports tournaments cannot happen at the expense of migrant workers' rights. https://t.co/JeUqc0PlUB

For all those times you've heard "we can't do any more about recruitment fees, you need to talk to origin states" & resorted to this response: 😱😤😖 (just me?!)

Today's your lucky day thanks to new @fairsqprojects research & recs for destination states: https://t.co/ZAXB8bSGEp

[Layla AlAmmar | ليلى العمار @Layla_AlAmmar]

Twitter is surreal. This shared space where bulldozers rolling into Silwan, the head of a hospital describing the hell Lebanon has become, and cracks about Love Island are all presented as though they're equal... it fucks with my head sometimes.

Malcolm Bidali, en détention pour avoir dénoncer les conditions de vie des travailleurs migrants dans le cadre de l'organisation de la Coupe du monde au #Qatar🇶🇦.

Avec 47 eurodéputé·es, dont mes collègues @ManonAubryFr et @ASPelletier, nous appelons à l'abandon des poursuites.

A different way of philanthropic giving includes a significant transfer of resources to institutions where #POC decide where dollars go - the “same old way” of doing philanthropy doesn’t work. https://t.co/tFfRIrTV9M #disruptthestatusquo #philanthropydobetter #philanthropysowhite

[Migrant Rights @MigrantRights]

"...the message being sent by the Qatari government could not be clearer: the arrest of Malcolm Bidali, who spent nearly a month in solitary confinement, was designed to strike fear into the hearts of other migrant workers in #Qatar.”

"Migrant workers are workers, and they have the same rights as all workers — including the right to speak out about their working conditions and their lack of rights. Even if they are not formally members of a registered trade union, they deserve the support of trade unionists."
