To the posters before me..Who are we to say that Qatar needs that Change? MissX, I completely disagree with your propaganda of pushing the limits/liberation. It is not our role to bend the cultures of this country. Let the Qataris decide on how and when to change..if they will ever change. This is their culture, don't come and bend it backwards. Yes, we are ranting about the freedom of choice (freakin' girls and men alike whining about the codes of beeing seen/what to be seen in), but please do not forget that we're in a land not of ours, a culture that we did not grow up in..Respect it. However truth or bull you may want to say, we are foreigners --outsiders. It is not our call to liberate what we deem is necessary as to something so small like women's attire. Unless you're in a call to shake things up between the Isrealites and the Palestinians, and the Arab's role in it..well then let's talk about invoking change in these cultures and nations. For something small as what to wear..Let us just respect their rules to be implemented in their OWN country and for us foreigners to stop the mockery in Qatar, it's ways, traditions, it's women and their culture.
If it is true about this new policy on clothing to be implemented on an emiratewide scale, then so be it. For me it's all simple. Rule of thumb, say me -- I do not let my guests wear their shoes in my house, I prohibit it..And so it's implemented. It's my home..My rules. Their country. Respect it.
