Canada is way better than just 2 places better than UAE.
We had a woman recently jailed in UAE for months, because she was divorced here in Denmark as a Dane living in Denmark.
But her husband was a muslim, and filed a complaint in UAE while she was on holiday there. And she was arrested for being divorced!!!
Yes definitely very safe. 🤣🤣🤣
I have to puke every time I hear women or minorities praise Dubai or anything UAE. It’s a shithole dictatorship kept in check with religious fanaticism. 🤢🤮
Thank you for sharing your perspective. From mine I have never heard a good thing with regards to human rights from there. As a Canadian I want to emphasize we shouldn’t be complacent, we have a lot of work to do. But we can still recognise how far we have come.
How is UAE No. 7?! There are literally emirates where you will get assaulted on the streets for being visibly non cishet, from what I’ve heard. Also according to Wikipedia, gay people can be murdered for the crime of being gay there, and according to Virgin Atlantic, you are not allowed to import “flyers promoting anti-Islam (including GSM) propaganda, intended for distribution”
UAE is like Saudi Arabia (maybe not quite as extreme), where there’s a big LBGT scene on the down-low, but also draconian laws against it that are selectively enforced. Think Victorian England, but with more executions. And similar levels of hypocrisy. I worked over there, and queer colleagues were never short of companionship, but they had to be very deeply closeted. And every couple of years, the government would raid a club, arrest a few people, torture them and maybe decapitate a few. And, like everything over there, if you have money and/or connections, it’s easier for you.

The list of safest overall:
They have other lists in there too.
The UAE being on that list immediately screams that this list is horse shit, possibly specifically UAE funded.
Despite being a proud Canadian this seems to be the only logical conclusion.

Why would a GSM person choose to work in UAE or Saudi Arabia if they could work anywhere else, in that case?
