DOHA: Qatar Foundation for Combating Human Trafficking (QFCHT) is set to discuss labour rights mentioned in Shariah during an especially designed ‘Cultural Salon’ tomorrow at the La Cigale Hotel.
‘Labour rights in the Shariah, legislation and media’ will be held as part of the Ramadan activities of QFCHT.
QFCHT aims to spread useful ideas and recommendations to reinforce its work and assist in implementing policies and plans, and to facilitate the implementation of the relevant legislations for combating human trafficking.
The event also aims at creating positive impact in raising awareness among the people and those who sponsor workers about labour rights and duties.
The ‘Cultural Salon’ will also educate people about how to deal with labourers to reduce problems that arise between the sponsors and their workers.
The ‘Cultural Salon’ will discuss a number of topics by clerics and experts such as Sheikh Ibrahim Bu Basheet, Sheikh Hashem A Mashhadani, Dr Osama Thabet Al Alusi, Al Salahuddin Zein, Al Mahmoud Said, with the participation of a group of officials, academic professors, experts and researchers, who are concerned about labour rights, in addition to media persons.
The event will address three main areas as the legitimate role of religious institutions in raising awareness about labour rights, the legal role about international conventions and Qatari legislations in this field, in addition to the media’s role in raising awareness.
QFCHT has organised cultural salons during the holy month of Ramadan in previous years to spread awareness about labour rights and how to prevent human trafficking.
