As a result of intense international scrutiny, Qatar has implemented several labor reforms, which have been applauded by Equidem and other human rights organizations, although campaigners claim abuses still occur.

However, as a result, Qatar has consistently refuted claims that the 30,000 construction workers who built the World Cup infrastructure were in danger.

According to Ambet E. Yuson, general secretary of the Building and Woodworkers’ International union, migrant workers on World Cup building projects have received a higher level of protection than other workers in Qatar. There will be no World Cup broadcasts in open fan zones in several French cities, including Paris, amid concerns about migrant workers’ rights and the environment.
