Researcher at MigrantRights.Org Rima Kalush says: “The conference seemed to be an announcement of an announcement. My worry is that Qatar will follow Bahrain’s footsteps in renaming the sponsorship system without actually abolishing the majority of the exploitative laws and practices that encompass the system. It’s important to be hopeful but also to recognize that Qatar has previously announced intentions to scrap the Kafala system as well as major reforms to the domestic worker sector with no follow through. Many of the possible reforms announced seem promising but there was not enough revealed about implementation to gauge the potential impact.”
