Opinion: Qatar’s hosting of the FIFA World Cup is a bigger problem than you think
It’s a regime that oppresses women. Under Qatar’s “guardianship” system, women have no agency to make their own life decisions. Without the permission of a male relative, a woman cannot pursue certain careers, marry, or travel. If they’re not married, it’s almost impossible for women to access basic reproductive care, such as prenatal care and ultrasounds. Extramarital sex can be punished with up to seven years in prison, lashings, and sometimes the death penalty.
Qatar not only violates the rights of its own people, it has warm relations with the Taliban, which seeks totalitarian Islamic rule. No surprise, either, that the Qatari regime has supported the murderous jihadist group Hamas.
