Understanding the Kafala system - Part 1, What is Kafala?

The Kafala, or sponsorship, system is the immigration system governing the residence and rights of migrant workers in most countries in the Middle East. It is highly restrictive and often facilitates the exploitation and trafficking of migrant workers, especially migrant domestic workers. At the same time, there are many misconceptions about the system. To remedy this, the Global Alliance Against Traffic in Women organised a webinar where Vani Saraswathi and Rima Kalush explain what exactly kafala is, and dispel some of the common myths about it.

Thank you, this is great.
I´m currently working on a paper on how the World Cup 2022 in Qatar and how international spotlight can have effects on absolutist countries that usually don't get pressure in this way.
Do you maybe have insight on what the current situation is in Qatar as the government announced to abolish it in jannuary?
