• Story behind the scenes

          Qatar is going to host FIFA world cup 2022 which is still 7 years away but caught the eye of the world when media was reported about the bad working conditions over there.

          Qatar is preparing for the grand tournament with full pace and constructing a lot of new stadiums and hotels that can meet the demands of tourists and players that are going to visit the country during the tournament. Which is making the workers to work for long hours and without the basic necessity at the work. This is reducing the living standards and leading to death of the workers.

          A total number of 62 games are going to be played in the world cup 2022. And according to the media if the standards are not improved then the rate of deaths will reach 62 deaths per game. Which is very high number in itself.

• Worker's identity

         These workers are basically the people who have gone to the country to earn their livelihood from Asian countries like India, Nepal, Srilanka and many other south Asian countries.

          These are the people of very poor families who have reached to Arab country for raising the living standards of their family. They take the job for earning more money but they don't know that this low standard working condition can lead to their death. No matter if they know, they will keep on working as it is important for them to supply money to their family.

          Along with the working conditions residence conditions are not very well too. Living places are filled with the people from various places of the world. They all are sharing the rooms and living in filled areas.
