i grew up in the middle east and i can't really say that this place is 'unsafe'....it takes care of women a lot but a lot depends on your lifestyle too.i can confidently go out at 10 in the night in Doha and need not fear of being mobbed or abused.but i can say for sure that i do not enjoy that freedom back home.there,a woman walking on the streets at 10 in the night is just inviting trouble or she is considered as 'loose'.just a personal opinion.
