UAE ranks first in world for treating women with respect

The UAE ranks number one in the world for treating women with respect, according to a major scientific study comparing development and well-being among all 132 nations of the world.

His Highness Shaikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, said the evidence on respect for women reflected fundamental truths about Emirati culture and traditions.

“We have the deepest respect for women. We respect their sacrifices and their dedication as partners in the building of our nation. In many sectors they have been able to contribute more than men because UAE society gives women a supportive environment to achieve their full potential. Their contributions have outweighed those of men in many sectors, and this reflects the supportive environment that the UAE has always provided for women.”

“Every woman has our deepest appreciation. Every role a woman takes to contribute to society makes her a partner in building our nation,” Shaikh Mohammed wrote on his personal Twitter account.

Shaikh Mohammed added: “An interesting finding is that the UAE ranked higher than many countries where people often criticise the UAE over women’s rights.”

“Appreciation for women in the UAE stems from the noble values of Islam, our true heritage that emanates wisdom. Women are our mothers, sisters, wives and daughters. Women sacrifice to raise generations,” Shaikh Mohammed added.

Shaikh Mohammed added: “The noble respect women, and our people were raised on noble values. In the UAE, women have even surpassed men in many sectors. Provide a suitable environment for women to work and innovate and they will definitely exceed expectations.”

The global Social Progress Index also ranked the UAE as number one for the lowest level of violent crime, the lowest homicide rate, the lowest undernourishment rate, and the highest rate of enrolment in secondary education.

The report was produced by a team of prominent international economists led by Professor Michael Porter of Harvard Business School, as part of an initiative launched by the World Economic Forum’s Global Agenda Council.

The index is designed as an objective and transparent measure that is more holistic than relying only on economic indicators to judge a country’s overall well-being. It includes 54 measures that track the capacity of a society to meet the basic human needs of its citizens, to establish the building blocks that allow citizens and communities to enhance and sustain the quality of their lives, and to create the conditions for all individuals to reach their full potential.

For the index as a whole, the UAE ranked number one in the Middle East and 37th worldwide.

Is that the same country where the man and woman were arrested for holding hands

Is that the same country that uses slave labour to build its cities??

Are the women in the UAE allowed to do the following:

1.Wear mini skirts in public?

2.Kiss blokes in public?

3.Wear make up with their faces exposed in public?

4.Have a small tipple of alcohol in public?

5.Be open about their lesbian relationship & hold their partners hand in public?

6.Wear a 'kiss me quick' t shirt in public?

7.Give their partners bum a pinch in public?

8.Eat a cheeseburger in public?

9.Sit on a sailors lap in public?

10.And finally,give the sailor a fucking good snog & grope in public?

I'm particularly concerned about the cheeseburger.

well now Mr shady...unless they are forbidden to eat in public full stop

provided the cow that is made into the burger was executed in the correct and prescribed manner, and the cheese was sufficiently prayed over I think they may actually be OK with the cheeseburger.....

so your concern over that item is perhaps unfounded....

All 3 Australia UK and USA have Higher rating
BUT in the USA 'respect for women' is listed as a weak point and it is listed as a strong point for UAE.

wow

this is a new level of delusional fantasy the left are taking on

suddenly a Muslim country is MORE respectful of woman's rights than western countries

thats got to be the biggest bite Ive ever heard, surpassed only by the fact that the lefties are actually promoting this shit

What rights are they denying these Muslim women, that you claim these Muslim women want?

The article states on treating women, so to claim kissing in public and mini skirts quite an idiotic view point from the forum dingleberry is not measures seen as a need for many Muslim women, it is a measure seen by what some western women want, hence a daft comparison


What the article states is this:

The global Social Progress Index also ranked the UAE as number one for the lowest level of violent crime, the lowest homicide rate, the lowest undernourishment rate, and the highest rate of enrollment in secondary education.

In this country we have high domestic violence against women, high levels of rape against women, so are you sure you know what on earth you are talking about when it comes to treating women when comparing this nation? If Muslim women wanted these things claimed by the dingleberry, there then surely you can show a consensus that many of them do? You cannot and thus fail to actually understand anything

Quite right Didge because as a country we have no reason to spout that we are a role model in the way women are treated here. Just look at these statistics to gauge just how serious a problem it is.

http://www.womensaid.org.uk/domestic-violence-articles.asp?section=00010001002200410001&itemid=1280

Having said that we are certainly a lot better than the countries where the treatment of women by extreme Islamic laws  are awful and common and that is condemned unreservedly by all decent people  but where we see a country that seems to making progress then it should be encouraged rather than being knocked down. Sometimes I think that there are those around who would wish that it just stayed the same as they don’t want to be deprived of the means to keep bashing with their agenda and I doubt they really care about domestic and violent abuse against women whether it’s here or elsewhere.

actually you were average for women, but bad for religious intolerance and immigrant discrimination and i must say there are at least 4 posters on here that you would be unlucky to find one so racist in the same size group of Aussies (same as the NF UK invasion)

we were also average for women but good for religious intolerance and immigrant discrimination

well since you all seem to think that Muslim countries treat woman better than western ones you must all be over the moon with irans appointment to the UN's woman rights council

i am genuinely gobsmacked at that posters are so low as to try and defend the treatment of women in Islamic states

this IS a new low

Nobody said Muslim "countries" did they?
We are talking about UAE.

Again points have been raised to you and yet you cannot answer, Veya has raised the indicators for you, both Irn and I have showed we have issues with domestic violence, rape etc, but I guess you think this must be an indicator for respecting women's rights?
Please explain that?

the UAE is a Muslim country isn't it???

you're view is based on the fact that domestic violence and rape etc are crimes that are socially unacceptable and well known in the Uk therefore we are worse because it happens

in Islamic society marital rape is not a crime since the qur'an allows a man to have sex with his wife anytime anywhere when HE wishes to do so.

violence is also funnily enough allowed against woman - there is even a verse that tells men to beat their wives

so tell us didge how do woman report crimes that aren't crimes??

I never even said worse, I am showing to you, that ou neglect problems we have and base a view on the UAE of silly view points you hold how you think Muslim women should want like wearing miniskirts, never hear of something so absurd in all my life.
Marital rape is not a crime in Islam I agree, but not all Muslims agree on this view point either, you have to show that Muslim men there or Muslim women for that matter are stating it as a massive problem, when this would have come up on the report, which it did not. So you are basing an assumption on the religious view and not the Muslims living there themselves.

So again you need evidence, this report shows, there is a lack of violence, so much so it is the lowest in the world, thus your whole argument is based off assumptions.

Again though you seem to think things are a bed of roses here, when as seen we have a huge problem with domestic violence, so how are many here respecting women?

Try actually reading the study, not the smelly view of the world

"this report shows, there is a lack of violence, so much so it is the lowest in the world, thus your whole argument is based off assumptions"

your view is that due to the lack of reported rapes and domestic violence against women it translates into actual figures and means its not happening

domestic violence and marital rape are not crimes under Islamic law

so i will ask again - how do woman report crimes that aren't seen as crimes??

so if you get the shit kicked out of you tonight downtown but don't report it, your view is that it didn't actually happen

yeah because thats a logical thought process to base a countries crime ratings on - the lack of reported crimes

never heard of anything so stupid in my life

Lack of? Again an assumption, evidence please, you neglect again the report was done by a comprehensive study

domestic violence and marital rape are not crimes under Islamic law
yes we know that and that they are here crimes and yet we have a massive problem with both, and yet you cannot cite evidence it is a problem there, being as hospital record would show such problems, something you neglect

so i will ask again - how do woman report crimes that aren't seen as crimes??
As stated above, violence is record by hospitals

so if you get the shit kicked out of you tonight downtown but don't report it, your view is that it didn't actually happen
Hospitals do

yeah because thats a logical thought process to base a countries crime ratings on - the lack of reported crimes
See above

never heard of anything so stupid in my life

Yes your argument was, based again off assumptions, and again ignoring we have a massive problem even with it being a crime. I mean surely you can cite Muslim women speaking out about a problem within the UAE of domestic violence and marital rape?

to be honest didge im quoting this for the simple reason that its priceless

i couldn't disprove your argument more this

fyi this is the winner

"surely you can cite Muslim women speaking out about a problem within the UAE of domestic violence and marital rape?"

Well thanks for that smelly, what gets me is you seem to mull over our own issues with domestic violence and rape.
