س: اسمي روي. أنا مواطن فيليبيني أعمل بالمنطقة الغربية من إمارة أبو ظبي كمعالج بالتدليك منذ شهرين. أعمل بعقد محدد المدة، وأريد أن أقدم استقالتي بسبب مناخ العمل غير الصحي بالشركة. الأمر يتلخص في أنني مررت بعدة تجارب سيئة مع الإدارة والعملاء، حيث أن أكثر العملاء يجبرونني على ارتكاب أفعال جنسية مشينة مثل تدليك أعضائهم التناسلية ولعقها وغير ذلك. لا أستطيع تحمل الأمر أكثر من ذلك وأريد أن أستقيل لأن العمل هنا مؤذٍ نفسيًا وعقليًا بالنسبة لي. كيف يمكنني المغادرة دون التعرض للعقوبة؟ مع العلم أن مديري ورئيس الشركة لم يسمحوا لي بالاستقالة ولا يفهمون ما أمر به من خوف وصدمة. أحتاج لمساعدتك.

Q: Hi. Someone was arrested in Dubai under the accusation of sexual harassment, but the defendant is innocent. There is DNA evidence that can prove this. However, he has confessed under pressure of doing this and signed a confession in Arabic which is a language he does not know how to read, write or speak.

Q: An NRI man claimed that he was divorced and approached me and I'm a divorcee too. When he came down I came to know that he did not get his divorce when I questioned him. He forced for sex, infact raped, video taped it and threatened that would kill my son if i dont agree. Later I had to agree and then he married me and always threatened. Meanwhile during this time I also came to know that he had affairs with many women and cheated a few too. Currently he has affair with his colleague in his office. His sister and brother in law too initially lied that he was a divorcee and later whenever I went to their house they harrased me both physically and abused me badly. I don't have any support or anyone to save me. I'm scared that he would release the video which he took without my knowledge when he had sex with me and kill my son. He ran away to Dubai. I need justice. How can I get justice. He is in Dubai and works for Art Marine LLC. He lived with me in Dubai for 2 months and threatened me not to tell out.

Q: Dear Sir/Madam, A harassment case was filed at the police station at my request. The perpetrator is currently in custody based on the police's investigation. The police attempted to bring me to the station to resolve the issue between me and the perpetrator, but I was unable to attend due to time constraints as I had a scheduled flight back to my home country on the same day. I plan to return to Dubai within the same month and believe that the perpetrator's current detention will be sufficient punishment until my arrival. Question: Do I have the right to request reimbursement for my lost flight ticket and taxi expenses incurred while opening the case, as I intend to close the case upon my arrival before it is referred to the court?"

Q: Good afternoon, A gentleman insulted me severely over the phone during a delicate moment in my life when I was pregnant. He conveyed harsh messages through chat, causing me to feel sick, panicked, and scared. Unfortunately, I lost my baby after this incident. I have reported the matter to the police and won the case, leading to the confiscation of his phone and imposition of a fine. However, I believe I deserve compensation for the mistreatment. Can I pursue damages, and if so, what amount can I claim for my loss and damage?

Q: Hello, My sister filed a criminal case against her employer (sexual harassment), and it is already with the Public Prosecutor. Her employer refuses to compensate her at all. Can we file a civil claim? When should we do it? Can we still file a civil claim after the judgment of the case?
