Last month, the 20-year-old Ukrainian model MARIA Kovalchuk was found beaten, bloody and barely alive along the road in Dubai. Her spine was broken, and she couldn’t even talk. She has previously disappeared after accepting the invitation to an exclusive event. The men who approached her with that offer they claimed to work in the world of modeling.
When she was found, she didn’t have a cell phone, a passport neither any document. She barely survived after four urgent operations. News.com.au writes that it is only a part of the dark secrets hiding Dubai. Mary’s lawyer claims that her client’s party is a lot with local suits. But the police said that her injuries were the result of falling and no indictment was filed.
That case threw light on the dark side of the Dubai, which was long whispered, but rarely talked openly, on the mysterious world of VIP fun. Through social networks, the organizers of these events come in contact with the parties, bring them to planes and they pay generously to be guests on VIP parties. After entering luxury hotels or yachts, they become victims of the darkest desires of superpower men, and the degree of perversion varies.
Some of these events are known as “Porta Potty” entertainment, an expression that describes the gathers in which influenzers paid huge sums of money to participate in humiliating sexual acts associated with body excretors. Women, after that, mostly remain permanent physical and mental consequences, and they often become entangled into a corrupt system.
It is a sharp contrast towards the ironing image of glamor, which the United Arab Emirates government seeks to show the world. Kay Manuel, Influencica and Congratulations Certificate of Australian Gold Coast, said recently visited Dubai to meet other professionals from the content creation industry. During the trip, she discovered how much Dubai dreams differ from reality with which some women face.
“Promoters show everything harmless,” she said for News.com.au.
“They say, you’ll just party, have a great time. You’ll be losing gifts. In reality, you will expect to make unimaginable things,” she added. She found that one Australian she knew recently ended in hospital with traumatic injuries after accepting the call of Dubai’s jewels.
“She had to go to reconstructive operations, and she returned deeply emotionally wounded. It’s not something you can recover and just say good. It’s cutting yourself in memory,” she said. Manuel says women often moms with small advances or evidence of future payments.
The messages vary, from the offer for Image Modeling (also known as paid party) to FS bids (which means Full Service, ie Sexual Services). News.com.au had insight into messages sent by Australian women, offering them work for Dubai celebrities and Arab royal families. “They prefer to target Instagram models,” Manuel says. “They are less experienced by the lady lady,” explains.
Ambitious influenzice that have debts or minimum sponsorships are especially vulnerable to such offers. This group is crucial for the wider and complex connection of Dubai with social networks. The Emirating Government invests a lot in the title of the World Capital Influencer. He pays many promotion makers and easily betrays visas for distance work to modernize their image.
But under that gleaming shine hides a dirty reality. Learned by false promises of party with salary, women who accept VIP calls often find themselves caught in the horror of sexual exploitation. “Men want to achieve financial dominance over them,” Manuel says. And the risks don’t stop with an event. Acceptance of such calls is the right legally minefield, says.
Despite the fact that the sex industry in Dubai in the shadow, prostitution is there illegal. If they are convicted, sex workers face six months in prison. Since VIP agreements are concluded online, they fall into the legal gray zone that is poorly regulated, but the risk is real.
More and more sexual workers in Dubai are arrested. Namely, any sexual intercourse out of marriage in the Emirates is illegal, in accordance with the application of Sharia law. The offenders face strict penalties, including prison and deportation.
If the workers are caught without a valid visa, they face a fine for illegal work.
“Emirates with such things don’t joke,” Manuel says. Lucy Banks, who manages Manuel’s career through his Million Billion Media, says the safety of the creator puts in front of the earnings.
As part of their job, first hand sees how a dream is sold. “It is easy to seduce someone with promises of luxury travels and fast earnings. But reality is the most common exploitation,” says. He understands why young influenzice are inclined to accept such offers, but warns of them to remember how social networks can be a catalog for predators.
“They are looking for young people, popular girls. Especially those who are not yet experienced, which are new in all that,” she said and called them to resist such offers.
“He has the strength in saying no,” she said.
The prominent lawyer for human rights and activists from the UAE Radha Stirling said that Mary’s story is not a lonely case.
“Most stories never go out to the public. There is an organized effort to cover up abuse and show Dubai as a perfectly safe city,” she said.
Stirling, which lives in London, adult in Melbourne, advises the Australian government on policy issues towards UAE and recently spoke about these topics before the United Nations.
He believes that he is still a long way in revealing the danger that Dubai hides.
“Women who go there must be aware of their vulnerability. The abuse is widespread. Women are unprotected, and reporting to the police or appeal can lead to their own arrest,” warns.
Stirling pointed to the case of the Gali Alice, a Gold Coast woman, which in 2008. became a victim of rape. Instead of protecting her, Dubai police accused her of adultery, so she spent eight months in prison.
For years after that terrible experience, Gali told Sunday Mail that her life would never be the same again. Stirling says warning stories pale in front of influenzers that act carefree and glamorous.
“Dubai invests huge funds in marketing. People still shade in influencer’s recordings,” she concluded.
