Lorem Ipsum"Neque porro quisquam est qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor sit amet, consectetur, adipisci velit...""There is no one who loves pain itself, who seeks after it and wants to have it, simply because it is pain..."freestarfreestarWhat is Lorem Ipsum?Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.Why do we use it?It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like). &nbsp;Where does it come from?Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.

In Dubai, new 1-year rental listings drop as landlords chase short-term rentals

Moving to a new city can be a challenging experience. More so for women. Despite our best efforts, women still face issues and challenges more than men with safety and equality being the foremost concerns.&nbsp;Located in the UAE, Dubai is a modern city that is advancing rapidly and adapting to the needs of its population, which represent hundreds of nationalities. Women may find it difficult to envision life here thanks to the various myths and anecdotes they hear.&nbsp;In this blog, I hope to clarify and address a few of those to provide a realistic picture of what it is like living in Dubai as a woman.&nbsp;‘Can you drive?’‘Do you have to wear a burqa?’&nbsp;‘Are you oppressed?’These are some of the questions I often get asked.In my experience, life in Dubai as a woman has been empowering as I have lived here for several years. Reem Bint Ebrahim Al Hashimy, the Minister of State for International Cooperation, Sheikha Lubna Bint Khalid Al Qasimi, Minister of State for Tolerance, and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.algurg.com/Leadership/Esag-Leadership-Member/2">Dr Raja Easa Al Gurg</a>, a Dubai-based businesswoman, are just some of the many women holding powerful positions and owning successful businesses in the city.&nbsp;Before I forget, yes, no and no are the answers to the questions above!&nbsp;<img src="https://legacy.bhomes.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Living-in-Dubai-as-a-Woman-in-2022-5.jpg" alt="" srcset="https://legacy.bhomes.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Living-in-Dubai-as-a-Woman-in-2022-5.jpg 873w, https://legacy.bhomes.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Living-in-Dubai-as-a-Woman-in-2022-5-300x118.jpg 300w, https://legacy.bhomes.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Living-in-Dubai-as-a-Woman-in-2022-5-768x303.jpg 768w" sizes="100vw" width="873">&nbsp;Gender equality is a top priority in the UAE, and many initiatives are being taken to improve women’s lives. A major support program for working women is provided by the Dubai Women Establishment, which collaborates with governments to encourage legislation that empowers women. In big corporations and government agencies, for example, it is now a must for women to be represented and included on the board of directors.The UAE aims to become one of the top 25 countries in the world when it comes to gender equality. As part of its efforts to achieve this, the UAE Gender Balance Council was created to ensure Emirati women play a leading role in its development.Currently, there are nine female ministers in the UAE, making up 27.3% of ministerial roles, one of the highest in the region. Further, women make up 66% of public sector jobs and 30% of senior leadership positions.&nbsp;<img src="https://legacy.bhomes.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Living-in-Dubai-as-a-Woman-in-2022-6.jpg" alt="" srcset="https://legacy.bhomes.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Living-in-Dubai-as-a-Woman-in-2022-6.jpg 873w, https://legacy.bhomes.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Living-in-Dubai-as-a-Woman-in-2022-6-300x118.jpg 300w, https://legacy.bhomes.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Living-in-Dubai-as-a-Woman-in-2022-6-768x303.jpg 768w" sizes="100vw" width="873">&nbsp;In Dubai, workplace harassments are rare and there are plenty of support establishments in place if issues arise. Under national law, discrimination based on gender, race, or faith is prohibited, and such behaviour is subject to serious investigation and appropriate action.Women here work across a range of industries at all levels of seniority. I’ve also met women in senior roles often at earlier stages in their careers than you might expect in the UK. This is a reflection of the excellent progression opportunities that women have here.There are, however, a number of job listings that state whether they are seeking a male or female applicant, which is illegal in the United Kingdom.In Dubai, women are largely safe. According to a Georgetown University study in 2021, the UAE holds the greatest percentage of women who feel safe in their communities worldwide. 98.5% reported they felt safe. That is the highest percentage worldwide.Compared to London, where crime rates are much higher, I find this to be one of the best things about living here. You don’t have to look over your shoulder or feel afraid when you walk alone. Of course, certain situations require caution. The majority of areas are extremely safe, however. I personally haven’t had any experiences where I’ve been really scared or concerned.Although Dubai is a relatively liberal country in comparison to other areas in the region, there are some policies that must be adhered to. Public nudity is prohibited. There is no issue with swimsuits and bikinis on the beaches and in swimming pools. They are not as acceptable outside of these environments.There’s also the misconception that women in Dubai have to cover up from head to toe. Although this is not necessarily true. Modest dressing is encouraged. If you choose to wear a dress or a skirt, ensure that the hemline is not too high. The rule usually applies when you’re in public areas, like malls. But you can usually wear whatever you like when you’re going out to hotels or clubs.&nbsp;<img src="https://legacy.bhomes.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Living-in-Dubai-as-a-Woman-in-2022-3.jpg" alt="" srcset="https://legacy.bhomes.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Living-in-Dubai-as-a-Woman-in-2022-3.jpg 873w, https://legacy.bhomes.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Living-in-Dubai-as-a-Woman-in-2022-3-300x118.jpg 300w, https://legacy.bhomes.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Living-in-Dubai-as-a-Woman-in-2022-3-768x303.jpg 768w" sizes="100vw" width="873">&nbsp;Women-only days are held in a variety of venues, including amusement parks, cinemas, and more. Throughout the week, there are Ladies’ Days and Ladies’ Nights at restaurants and clubs. Women can take advantage of special deals or free treats such as drinks and discounts. These events are generally open to men as well, but they won’t receive the same offers as women.Several platforms, including WhatsApp and Facebook, have female-only groups for mothers, single women, and working women. I have personally been welcomed into these groups and found them helpful. They schedule meetups and share recommendations on a variety of subjects. I got the chance to learn and I found a support network where I could ask questions about things I don’t yet know about living here.Dubai features many designated women-only areas in public spaces and on public transport. Public transportation like the metro, tram, and buses have designated areas for women and children. And, of course, Dubai’s famous Pink Taxis – cabs driven by women, for women.There are even parks dedicated to ladies and children only. Men are not allowed during certain days and hours each week. And there is an all-female team of staff. Even though it has received some criticism, Pink Priority areas and events allow women to feel comfortable and safe, especially those from modest or religious backgrounds.&nbsp;<img src="https://legacy.bhomes.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Living-in-Dubai-as-a-Woman-in-2022-7.jpg" alt="" srcset="https://legacy.bhomes.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Living-in-Dubai-as-a-Woman-in-2022-7.jpg 873w, https://legacy.bhomes.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Living-in-Dubai-as-a-Woman-in-2022-7-300x118.jpg 300w, https://legacy.bhomes.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Living-in-Dubai-as-a-Woman-in-2022-7-768x303.jpg 768w" sizes="100vw" width="873">&nbsp;There are ladies-only salons all over Dubai, too. It’s great for people who aren’t comfortable with men working in salons! Mixed salons are also scattered throughout the city if you aren’t bothered by this. The same goes for spas, pools, and saunas. The majority of saunas are separate but swimming pools and spas are generally mixed.There is also the question of whether women are permitted to own property alone in the UAE. Obviously, the answer is yes. It is estimated that 30% of UAE property is owned by women. There are many women living here alone as well. This is not uncommon and they tend to feel very safe secure doing so.Life in the UAE is often sensationalized in the Western media. Depending on where you get your information, it’s understandable why some people have such different impressions of what life is like here. It’s inevitable that there will be differences in lifestyle between two countries or cities, but Dubai will make you feel comfortable and empowered. As a woman in the UAE, you can feel safe, protected, and free to live a full life and reach your full potential.
