The ITUC has produced a new multi-media investigation – www.qatarexposed.org – with interviews of workers in Qatar, undercover footage of the labour camps, and stories of survivors who have returned to Nepal.

“Qatar has to stop covering up its treatment of migrant workers, and governments and business need to end their complicity with modern slavery. Qatar’s migrant worker population is set to peak by 2017, to deliver the infrastructure for the 2022 World Cup. Only by ending the kafala system now, giving workers the right to freedom of association, can we ensure migrant workers in Qatar have a safe and secure future,” said Sharan Burrow.
