Dear el dispreciau,
Could this be our chance to get FIFA to take slavery in Qatar seriously? The organisation is under intense scrutiny: several officials have just been arrested on corruption charges and the football body is about to elect its President. It’s vital we really keep the pressure up while the world’s attention is once again on FIFA.
Please help us make the most of this opportunity: call on FIFA to help end slavery on Qatar 2022 World Cup construction sites.
Just a few weeks ago the Qatar World Cup once again made headlines for all the wrong reasons as news emerged that BBC journalists had been arrested for investigating the treatment of migrant workers on Qatari construction sites. Journalist Mark Lobel had just spoken to an 18-year-old man who was trapped under the kafala system, receiving virtually no salary, when he was arrested and interrogated.1
The Qatari authorities have much to hide. Under the kafala system, thousands of migrants are trapped in dangerous and sometimes deadly living and working conditions, for little or no pay -- all to build stadiums for the World Cup.2
Now is a crucial moment to pile the pressure on FIFA. The organisation is investigating why these journalists were arrested, battling with its own criminal allegations and its presidential election is imminent. Call on FIFA to take a stand against modern slavery in Qatar now.
Thank you for advocating on behalf of those trapped in Qatar, and for bringing us one step closer to ending slavery on 2022 World Cup construction sites. Once you have sent your message, please share this email and ask your friends to do the same.
In solidarity,
Sarah, Jayde, Kate, Zoe and the rest of the Walk Free team
P.S. While this issue is in the media, we have another important opportunity to push FIFA to take action. Click to send your message now.
