Australian Women Abused at Qatar Airport Hell
Qatar Airport Hell: Australian Woman Invasively Searched Breaks Her Silence
60 Minutes Australia •22 Nov 2020
Qatar is a small but wealthy country in the Persian Gulf. It promotes itself as a modern and progressive state that welcomes and respects foreign visitors.
But that’s far from the truth.
In reality Qatar is a dangerous destination, especially for western women. Even transiting through its international airport is risky.
As Sarah Abo reports, the problem is a culture of entrenched misogyny, which seven weeks ago resulted in an appalling incident where a large group of women, including 13 Australians, were snatched off flights and physically violated by Qatari authorities.
For the first time one of the victims, a brave young woman from Victoria, tells of her nightmare at Doha International Airport. And the story of how she was assaulted is so unbelievable that not only will it outrage all Australians, it’s sure to make people reassess future travel to or via Qatar.
