What is the work ban in Qatar?

The work ban in Qatar refers to a regulation that prohibits certain categories of workers from changing employers or leaving the country without permission, especially for those on temporary work contracts. This system has faced criticism for limiting workers' rights and freedom. Reforms have been introduced to improve labor conditions, including easing restrictions on changing jobs and allowing workers to leave without exit permits under specific conditions. Despite these changes, challenges remain in fully implementing and enforcing these protections.
