The Football World Cup is an opportunity for Amnesty International activists in Nancy to raise awareness of the lack of respect for human rights in this emirate.
Marie-José has been involved with Amnesty International for 30 years.
In Nancy, with her group, she intends to take action to denounce the non-respect of human rights in this Middle Eastern country which is preparing to host the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
To organize the competition and quickly build the stadiums, Qatar called on workers from Africa or South Asia. « Qatar has employed 2 million workers in inhumane conditions for us,” explains Marie-José Nicolau, secretary of Amnesty International in Nancy. « Before 2016, Qataris could hire foreigners in conditions almost of hidden slavery because these people had no right to move or change jobs, their passports were confiscated by their employer « , laments Marie-José Nicolau. « In 2016 this legislation was abolished but the new law is not respected.
For us, one of the reasons to mobilize is to ask Qatar to update itself with global standards of respect for human rights ».
Amnesty International France broadcast the documentary « The Exploited of Qatar » on social networks to denounce the inhuman working conditions of migrant workers.
The NGO questioned the president of the French Football Federation who refused to take a position on what is happening in Qatar.
For volunteers the fight continues.
Two demands are on the table: « We want FIFA to commit to monitoring the violation of human rights and that the France team ensure that the service providers it uses on site respect their employees.
We are going to ask our players of football not only to see the glitter that Qatar presents to them », continues the activist.
In Lorraine a petition addressed to the president of the French Football Federation is put online.
Next Saturday, September 17, 2022, during Association Day in Nancy, Place de la Carrière, volunteers from Amnesty International Nancy will raise public awareness of the particularly difficult living conditions of these foreign workers. !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s) {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod? n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)}; if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0'; n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0; t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script', 'https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/fbevents.js'); fbq('init', '882125681855230'); fbq('track', 'PageView'); (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Vous devez vous connecter pour publier un commentaire. source
