Creating a History section[edit]

I strongly believe that we should start a history section and include all of the articles and incidents ffrom the early 00s

The article has major WP:MOS issues, is not neutral.

Id like to see if there is consensus on the addition of a history part, and on the issues I raised. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vyvagaba (talk • contribs) 15:57, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Merger of Gay rights[edit]

Strong oppose - A separate gay rights article should be retained as there are gay rights articles about most countries that are currently helpfully categorized together at Category:Gay rights by country and Category:LGBT in the Middle East Scarykitty 13:35, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment To begin with, I think some more clarity is required in the "Human rights" article. What does prostitution have to do with human rights (unless we're talking about forced prostitution)? Now, on the question of whether or not to merge the two articles, if there is enough material on gay rights in the UAE, then a separate article is warranted. If there isn't enough material, and we're only planning to regurgitate what is mentioned as the law of the land per the UAE constitution, then it should be included as a subsection of the human rights article. AreJay 03:39, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Support - I think more attention would be drawn to the issue if it was combined with other civil rights issues in the UAE. The cross referencing can be fixed. It makes more sense to combine.
Strong Opposition - While clearly these are related issues, GLBT are clearly a separate subset of human rights that have a very strong public interest in keeping the Gay issues in the UAE separate from human rights at large as there is an entire series based on global GLBT by geography. This makes it easier to find what conduct is and is not acceptable depending one's location. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.240.254.21 (talk) 15:17, 21 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Internet Censorship[edit]

If anyone is interested, the following article defines the UAE's policies concerning internet censorship: http://wikileaks.be/wiki/United_Arab_Emirates_Internet_censorship_plan_%282006%29 I have not the time nor the will to compress the information given to strict wikipedian standards. The memo was issued by Osman Sultan, CEO of one of the two telecom providers in the UAE. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.185.127.19 (talk) 21:00, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What about the treatment of women?[edit]

If women are treated with the same rights as men, then it should be mentioned. On the other hand, if there are problems with the treatment of women, then this article needs to expand on that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Althena (talk • contribs) 05:19, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I completely agree! How can this article not mention women's oppression in the UAE? What a glaring oversight... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.2.129.199 (talk) 17:52, 13 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I started chapters Equality and Women's rights. These should in my opinion be main issues in every human right article. Example Human rights in Finland. This is an open opportunity to everybody to improve the article. Watti Renew (talk) 14:13, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

how is it abusing womens rights it is protective of women — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.152.118.171 (talk) 10:35, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Contradiction[edit]

Migrants, particularly migrant workers, make up a majority (approximately 80%) of the resident population of the UAE, and account for 90% of its workforce.[6] They lack rights associated with citizenship and face a variety of restrictions on their rights as workers.[7][8] It is common practice, although illegal, for employers in the UAE to retain employees' passports for the duration of the employment contract to prevent expatriate employees from changing jobs. On termination of an employment contract, certain categories of expatriates are banned from obtaining a work permit in the country for six months.[9] Migrants, mostly of South Asian origin, constitute for 42.5% of the UAE’s workforce[10] and are subject to a range of human rights abuses.

What percent of the UAE's workforce is migrant workers, 90 or 42.5? 67.82.98.49 (talk) 00:45, 16 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Jaweed al-Ghussein[edit]

This section is a mess... it contains no citations and appears to be written in a non-neutral way. If someone could fix it up, that would be great. Paris1127 (talk) 19:04, 24 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
