Very well said, syedkhadeer

To women generally - be alert esp. when walking about alone or even in 2s or 3s, depending on the area and how many guys are in the vicinity, whether there is a possibility of them ganging up on you. Carry a whistle or alarm that can set off an alarm to attract attention if you get into trouble. You just have to attract attention for people to take notice and help.

Make a mental note of where the security guards are or police in uniform wherever you are. Do not simply believe anyone who says they are police officers and never follow any guy anywhere private, no matter if he says he's a police officer. If you did nothing wrong, do not be intimidated. Always be in a public place. Even if you're supposedly arrested - must have female police officer. If not, get someone to go with you to the police station. Have police on speed dial on your mobile.

/Even at the driving tests - the male police officer doing the testing for the ladies, there must always be a female police officer in the test car with you.

All the best and welcome to Qatar!
