Recent reports say many South Asian migrant workers face dangers while working on construction sites in Saudi Arabia, and some have even lost their lives.
These workers come from India, Nepal, and Bangladesh, and they are building new stadiums and facilities for the 2034 World Cup.
The reports point out that workers often get injured or die due to high temperatures, unsafe working conditions, electric shocks, or falls from heights.
Although Saudi law requires companies to protect workers' safety, many companies have not done so.
It is very difficult for workers' families to get compensation; the process is slow and complicated.
Some family members say their relatives clearly had accidents at the construction site, but companies claim they died of natural causes.
Human rights organizations call on the Saudi government and World Cup organizers to protect workers' safety and investigate every worker death.
We hope that in the future, workers will have safer working environments.
