As the 2022 World Cup comes to a close, thousands of migrant workers whose labor made the games in Qatar possible have still not been paid the wages they are owed.
But what happened in Qatar is not the exception. In every country, migrant workers routinely face wage theft because of their unique vulnerability as migrants. A migrant worker who comes forward risks not only job termination but removal from the country and, once gone, their ability to recover wages in the country of employment usually disappears as well. Many return home with significant unpaid wages that they will never recover.
Migrant Justice Institute, Solidarity Center and the ILAW Network invite you to a global conversation on next steps to ensure justice for migrant workers.
