They chose these people specifically because they are from poor countries.]]> 2022-12-06 14:43:55 UTC https://padlet.com/ilianah3/4ga5oancwph2ib80/wish/2410774191 ilianah3 https://padlet.com/ilianah3/4ga5oancwph2ib80/wish/2410785894 Since these men are from poor countries, they worry about feeding their family, or paying debt, problems like these. See, these men were promised a well paying job in Qatar so they took the job. But turns out, they were lied to.]]> 2022-12-06 14:50:40 UTC https://padlet.com/ilianah3/4ga5oancwph2ib80/wish/2410785894 ilianah3 https://padlet.com/ilianah3/4ga5oancwph2ib80/wish/2412249087 Qatar has this system called the Kafala system. It's very similar to slavery, might as well say it practically is. Like I said, these sponsors from Qatar promise workers to get a good job but that's a lie. They end up taking people's passports so now they can't even leave. They're forced to stay and work, and they wait for months only to receive little pay.]]> 2022-12-07 14:23:25 UTC https://padlet.com/ilianah3/4ga5oancwph2ib80/wish/2412249087 ilianah3 https://padlet.com/ilianah3/4ga5oancwph2ib80/wish/2412268622 The Kafala system has been criticized by human rights because this system allows the sponsors to basically exploit, or abuse their workers. And they take away their passports. They treat their workers terribly, having them stay in a cramped room, they don't get fed often, they have to work in really hot temperatures, their pay always gets postponed and when they do get paid it's barely anything.]]> 2022-12-07 14:35:49 UTC https://padlet.com/ilianah3/4ga5oancwph2ib80/wish/2412268622 ilianah3 https://padlet.com/ilianah3/4ga5oancwph2ib80/wish/2412279135 This video explains how Qatar got to host the world cup, and why they wanted to host it.]]> 2022-12-07 14:42:35 UTC https://padlet.com/ilianah3/4ga5oancwph2ib80/wish/2412279135 ilianah3 https://padlet.com/ilianah3/4ga5oancwph2ib80/wish/2414388446 Here are some examples of these bad living conditions (this has been investigated by The Guardian). They found that 12 men were sleeping in a room and they would get sick due to dirty conditions, some men say that they had to beg for food and for their pay. Managers would assault and kick you out of the labor camp you'd stay in because you would go to them and complain about your conditions.]]> 2022-12-08 14:25:31 UTC https://padlet.com/ilianah3/4ga5oancwph2ib80/wish/2414388446 ilianah3 https://padlet.com/ilianah3/4ga5oancwph2ib80/wish/2414402791 There's more foreigners in Qatar than actual Qatari citizens.]]> 2022-12-08 14:36:02 UTC https://padlet.com/ilianah3/4ga5oancwph2ib80/wish/2414402791 ilianah3 https://padlet.com/ilianah3/4ga5oancwph2ib80/wish/2414412994 So how much do these workers really do get paid? Well one worker was promised a pay of 300$ (US dollars) a month, but forget that. They only get 190$ a month.]]> 2022-12-08 14:43:06 UTC https://padlet.com/ilianah3/4ga5oancwph2ib80/wish/2414412994
