The report from Human Rights Watch exposes troubling human rights violations faced by migrant workers in Saudi Arabia, emphasizing issues like unpaid wages, forced relocations, and unsafe working conditions. While the Saudi government’s reforms are a step in the right direction, they remain inadequate against the backdrop of the Kafalah system that binds migrant workers to their employers. As Saudi Arabia seeks to host the 2034 World Cup, the spotlight is on its labor practices, urging a collective responsibility towards upholding human rights for all workers, regardless of their origin.
