Seeing UAE on this list immediately shows how flawed the methodology is. It might be safe and friendly for white rich muslim males who don't drink alcohol, but

  Right. It's also entirely legal for men to beat their wives in the UAE (as long as you are not leaving visible marks), so I would argue that it's really not safe for women who are married or open to possibility. It would be like calling a country that doesn't criminalize murder safe even though it has a murder rate in the 100s (for context, El Salvador holds the highest murder rate in the world at 139).

    If you're a women who needs to factor in the risk of your husband beating you as soon as it is legal to do so, you should probably be shopping for divorce lawyers rather than holiday destinations.

      You have no idea what you are talking about. It is very common to kidnap alone female tourists on broad daylight, since they "do not belong to anyone".

  Yeah. As a brown person holding an Indian passport UAE is as unfriendly as it gets - starting from inequality in pay to enforcement of law to freedom of speech. (well, the last one is for everyone).
