The 2022 FIFA World Cup Qatar is an event that is controversial not only in sports, but also in political, social and cultural terms. Record-breaking sums were spent on the organization of this World Cup, and although modern stadiums and infrastructure were invested, the effect is completely different than it was presented in visualizations years ago. The FIFA World Cup began on October 20, but instead of sports emotions, there are more scandals.
Paulina Młynarska on the World Cup in Qatar: 6,500 workers from different countries lost their lives
Paulina M³ynarska is a socially engaged feminist, known e.g. active in the fight for women’s rights. Recently, the journalist decided to speak critically on Facebook and Instagram about the World Cup in Qatar, citing one alarming statistic. – 6,500 workers from various countries (mainly from Asia) lost their lives working for the “football festival” in Qatar. No one is able to count how many have lost their health and will never get any compensation. a toxic form of patriarchy Enjoy, she wrote.
There were many comments under the post from the touched Internet users:
A few days ago I flew via Qatar to Poland. Half the plane was filled with Asian workers with only one carry-on. I’m assuming it’s just for construction work
A fair of vanities and big bucks
But after all, “footballers have been waiting for this for 4 years and this is a sporting celebration” … eh
I don’t know why people are talking about all this only now when preparations for the World Cup started 10 years ago. i.e. That for 10 years everyone had their eyes tightly shut. I lived in Qatar for a while, and yes, there is widespread slavery there, but I wonder if it is not in Europe? I will not mention Poland in which, day after day, citizens of their own country are slowly deprived of the right to decide about themselves
I do not watch. For this very reason
Football may go out of style after this ‘festival’, the Guardian believes
And on top of all that, some men will beat their wives after matches and rape them, so more victims are guaranteed. Just look at the research on the increase in violence after matches
I hope it will be a spectacular image flop, both for Qatar and for football
