*[Enwl-eng] The 2022 World Cup has enabled countless human rights abuses

[ENWL]

                        FIFA and its partners will make billions of dollars and priceless publicity off of the tournament.
                       
                 
           
                       
                 
           
                       
                 
           
                        The 2022 World Cup Was Built by Modern Day Slavery. FIFA and Its Partners Should Compensate the Workers Who Built It.

                        The word "trafficking" gets thrown around a lot, but often without the nuance it deserves. One form of trafficking that we often overlook is labor trafficking — a form of modern-day slavery in which people work against their will due to force, fraud, or coercion. This year on World Day Against Trafficking in Persons, we want to bring awareness to a major enabler of labor trafficking: FIFA. For this year's World Cup, FIFA awarded the global soccer (football) tournament bid to Qatar, a country known for its labor trafficking and human rights abuses.



                        The various winners of this year's World Cup will walk away with a combined total of $440 million in prize money. Meanwhile, FIFA's official World Cup corporate partners will also benefit extensively from the event. Yet the abused humans who are forced to work in Qatar without their consent or free will walk away with comparatively nothing. That's why Amnesty International is calling on FIFA to match the $440 million in World Cup prize money and create a compensation program for Qatar's abused migrant workers.



                        As Amnesty International's Secretary General has made clear: "By turning a blind eye to foreseeable human rights abuses and failing to stop them, FIFA indisputably contributed to the widespread abuse of migrant workers involved in World Cup-related projects in Qatar, far beyond the stadiums and official hotels." The World Cup in Qatar has been built on trafficked laborers' backs. Sign the petition to demand FIFA and its World Cup partners to pay reparations to the workers who suffered human rights abuses under Qatar's exploitative labor system!
                       
                 
           
                       
                 Thank you,

                        P.S. The World Cup in Qatar has been built on trafficked laborers' backs, and FIFA and its partners must pay for the harm they enabled. Sign the petition!
