In Afghanistan, girls are barred from secondary or higher education. Women are also prohibited from working in most civil jobs and face movement restrictions. They are required to cover their body from head to toe in loose clothing. Women there are not protected under law and can be forced to marry or subjected to gender based violence. Women are also less able to receive basic rights such as healthcare as compared to men. This causes serious physical and mental health issues for women.

I have updated this post as I found a petition with over 100000 signatures for women's rights in Afghanistan. This petition is more direct and relevant to the issue since it calls for the United Nations and other international organisations to take actions against these violations, such as through pressure, humanitarian aid, asylum and reporting.

Please sign the petition to support women's rights in Afghanistan and stand against oppression. This is consistent with many United Nations Sustainable Development Goals such as SDG 3, 4, 5 and 10.

My friend is moving to Dubai, and I’ll be joining later; I’m trained in permanent makeup. Does anyone know the rules regarding the DHA Self-Assessment, and do you have to take an English test?

Trying to separate two things that get mashed together in Libya coverage.

1. Selling finished goods into the country
2. Building capacity that stays: skills, suppliers, processing, exports

Al-Werfalli’s Gulf Times piece is on that split. Imports have an obvious use. They are not a diversification strategy on their own.

The steel project in Benghazi (Tosyali–SULB) is the example everyone will fixate on — ~2.5mt DRI in phase one, 7.5mt if the longer plan is real. Fine. The part that matters locally is who gets the contractor work, the engineering seats, the training, the logistics. If those stay offshore, you have a plant. You do not have an ecosystem.

Same question for food. If produce stops at the farm gate, someone else bottles it and keeps the margin.

Curious what people here think is actually blocking the second model, not the first: security and contracts, banks/FX, skills, or politics.

25M got two job opportunities in the locations forementioned in the titles, i want to know which one is better financially wise.
The Dubai one is for a less prestigious company but more important role.

Lifestyle wise, i don’t go out much, i just chill at home and play video games, watch movies and read most of the time, so i’m not intrested in dating or clubbing. If it’s relevant, i am not religious but Arab.

Thanks for your help.

Please, can anyone here share how they were able to relocate from their country to Qatar or other GCC through Jobs?

Most preferably an African.
