Qatar has the highest female prisoner ratio...
...despite having the lowest female to male ratio in society.
An interesting article to read (and then act like this problem does not exist...)

.. and I suppose "the Guardian group of newspapers" have not heard about this topic yet as this is yet another story waiting to be told. People come here to work and make a decent living and support their families back home and not to be locked up for petty little things
Not that I agree with all that's written, but some policies in Islamic states, including Qatar, regarding rights of domestic workers, treatment of rape victims and outright illegality of abortions without going into the background of conception etc. are the areas that need to be looked at by the state if they want to uplift the status of expat women workers.
Comments of Hana Girl are very logical, this is a very poorly written article with a lot of misinformation, general assumptions, and loose conclusions.
Dont forget to scroll down and read comments of Hana Girl.
men .... at whos' hands women suffers at every step of their lives .......
Its Hana girl not Hanna girl
One must also go through the response comments made below the same article by a reader called HANNA GIRL which are genuine ones and cannot be overlooked.......so when you have finished reading kindly scroll down to read the comments of HANNA GIRL.
The article is worth reading. It is an eye opener and I am saddened and disturbed by the allegations - even if 10% are true, it highlights the misery of these poor women. They come here looking for work to support their families, but instead face rape, abuse, confinement and harassment.
Time for the powers that be to act and say enough. Punish the rapists and abusers, not the victims.
