Exploitation of migrant workers in Qatar again in the spotlight

Since being awarded the 2022 Football World Cup, the West Asian country of Qatar has been in the spotlight over its treatment of migrant workers. This month, the government of Qatar did not support an international agreement against forced labour, with some other neighbouring countries also voting against the treaty. New reports coming out from Qatar expose the vulnerable living conditions for workers which leave some of them homeless. The issue is that companies are making huge profits via the super exploitation of these migrant workers.
