Abstract
As the eyes of the world shifted towards Qatar during the recent World Cup, media reports focused on the working conditions and deaths of the migrant workers building Qatar's infrastructure. According to a Guardian report in 2021, 6,500 South Asian migrant workers were reported to have died in Qatar from 2010 to 2020—although this number does not differentiate between work-related and non-work-related deaths. Throughout Jordan, Lebanon, and all the Gulf Arab states, a system for migrant labor called kafala has been in place for decades, in which states give employers sponsorship permits to bring in foreign workers, which bind workers to their employers and allow for exploitation.
