About this listen
Two of the Sheikh's daughters have attempted daring escapes from their father's iron rule, dreaming of a better life. Sheikha Latifa released her own extraordinary tell-all video online, and the Sheikh's youngest wife caused further scandal by laying out the Maktoum dynasty's dirty laundry in London's High Court.
Sheikh Mohammed's attitudes towards women and human rights are reflected across the UAE, despite the country spending a fortune to promote itself as a model of harmony and equality. Here, women are still considered a possession. They are the ones charged if they report a rape. There is no minimum wage for workers. Corruption is commonplace. Censorship and propaganda is rife.
Tom Steinfort has spent years uncovering the sins of Sheikh Mohammed, and the disturbing reality of life in Dubai. Now, he shares the brave stories of those who have experienced the horror first hand, and trusted him to raise the alarm.©2021 Tom Steinfort (P)2021 Penguin Random House Australia

Very sad, but interesting
It is good that someone is highlighting the terrible discrimination against women in these countries.
