For #HumanRightsDay2022 let’s remember that #ModernSlavery is a #HumanRights issue first and foremost & so the surest path to ending this severe form of exploitation once and for all is to put #HumanRightsFirst.
Why do we fight to end #PrisonSlavery? Because every person has an inalienable right not to be held in #Slavery or #Servitude. Put #HumanRightsFirst and take action today: freedomunited.org/advocate/amend…
Qatar still has yet to effectively end its #Kafala system leaving its majority #Migrant worker population vulnerable to continued exploitation. Tell @FifaWorldCup to put #HumanRights before #Football today: freedomunited.org/advocate/pay-u…

Se é para falar de Qatar vamos falar da Kafala. O que seria esse sistema? A Kafala originalmente se refere a um contrato em que um fiador assume a responsabilidade por essa pessoa em várias situações, com garantir o pagamento pelo trabalho.
Hoje, o "fiador" seria uma agência de emprego q vai intermediar a relação entre contratado e contratante.No século XX,esse sistema se expandiu na década de 1950, quando os países do Golfo buscaram estrangeiros para trabalhar em projetos de infraestrutura
de grande escala
Inicialmente essa mão de obra era de árabes vindos da Síria, Iraque, Sudao, Egito, países que naqueles anos a instabilidade política era intensa com Golpes e Contra Golpes.

Today changes to #SaudiArabia’s labour law come into effect. The government says this ends the exploitative #kafala system. But @Equidem is concerned the reforms do not address discriminatory laws and policies that put millions of #migrantworkers at risk of #modernslavery. 1/18
Saudi Arabia hosts the third-largest migrant population in the world; foreign workers account for about a third of Saudi Arabia’s 30 million population and more than 80 per cent of the kingdom’s private-sector workforce. 2/18
Previously, migrant workers in Saudi Arabia were required to be sponsored by an employer to work in the country. They had to seek the permission of their employer to change jobs, open a bank account, travel out of the country and do other administrative tasks. 3/18

#Lebanon

I just spent sometime with these amazing Ethiopian ladies protesting in front of the Ethiopian embassy in Hazmieh on behalf of all migrant workers here.

They want to return to #Ethiopia but their embassy is not being cooperative or transparent with them. #COVIDー19 ImageImageImageImage
Some migrant workers paid 550 USD to reserve plane tickets back to Ethiopia from #Lebanon via the Ethiopian embassy. Many have been waiting for 2 months to leave.

Others are now being asked for 1100 USD (flight + quarantine cost in Ethiopia).
Investigative work by @ZekuZelalem explains how these ladies are not only suffering from abuse and violence by many of their employers in #Lebanon + the exploitation the #Kafala system causes but also how betrayed they are by their representatives.

🇶🇦El #coronavirus no detiene los preparativos para el Mundial #Qatar2022. Ayer el país asiático dio a conocer que 5 obreros contrajeron el #Covid_19. Pero, así y todo las obras no se detendrán.

Retrato de esclavitud del Siglo 21 y las miserias de los mercaderes del #futbol👇 ImageImage
El hecho trae la situación infrahumana y de esclavitud en la que trabajan los obreros. No hay libertad sindical, no hay salario mínimo y no hay ningún sistema de control para garantizar el cumplimiento de las normas laborales. Hay casos de torturas y abusos de todo tipo. ImageImageImageImage
Ademas los trabajadores migrantes en #Qatar están sometidos al sistema #kafala, una ley que concede todo el poder a los patrones, que no les permite cambiar de empleo o salir del país sin el permiso de ellos, quienes también retienen sus pasaportes. Image

Traditionnellement pour un substitut du #procureur être affecté au service civil du parquet était (est ?) une reconnaissance de compétences #juridiques et professionnelles. Certains espéraient (espèrent ?) y être nommés. #teamjuriste #teamENM
Au civil, le rôle du #procureur est comme au #pénal d'être gardien du #droit et de l'intérêt général mais aussi de l'ordre public international. Il peut proposer aux #juges des orientations de la #jurisprudence. Le procureur reflet de la société et ses évolutions
