[QUOTE]Originally posted by Ayisha: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Dubai Girl: [qb] I never had any problems with harassment in Dubai but since I left there and moved to the Northern Emirates I get it constantly. There are very few western expats here and the population is mainly arabs and migrant workers. I am constantly stared at by the labourers, people shout things on the street and from their cars if I am walking. I try not to walk anywhere because I feel really uncomfortable when groups of men start nudging each other and saying things as I walk past. We have ladies only queues in the banks here and I have to visit the bank on a weekly basis and the same things happens there. Also when I go to Carrefour.What I wear makes no difference. I have been followed in my car on three separate occasions. Once when I was driving going from my home to the bank a group of Emirati men were driving alongside me and trying to get my attention. This lasted for more than 20 mins. I totally blanked them and when I pulled over and parked outside the bank they did as well and started trying to talk to me asking my name etc etc. I was really scared at the time and I didnt know how to deal with it other than ignore it like it wasn't happening I never experienced anything like this in the UK [/qb][/QUOTE]this kind of thing used to happen in UK back in the 60s and 70s especially by workmen, although not on the same scale. Now there are laws about this thankfully. [/QB][/QUOTE]
