I am sorry you are so wrong in what you are posting, Expat women do have a voice in this country, and yes the police do take you serious, it is not always the man who the authorities take the side of.

I wonder just how many of you posters posting on this thread have ever had to deal with the police regarding rape or hasselment from men, well let me tell you this I HAVE, and they could not have been more helpful in everything they did and the check they did on our house to try and get fingerprints and I was treated with the most utter respect and kindness from everyone in the police force, they could not apologise enough about what had happened to me in Qatar.

Yes you have to be careful but you have to be careful in what ever country you live, I know I feel a damn site safer walking around Doha then I do in the UK.
