Dear friends,
we arrived in Dubai a year back.
My husband works in Emirates in shifts and often hits me and beats me up often. I am on his dependent visa but work myself.
Back in our country I had my parents and in-laws to intervene.
Hear I find myself very, very lonely.

Can anyone please advice if there is an government or NGO that I can seek help from in confidence when the physical violence gets excessive.

Pleassseee, any gudienace or ray of hope will be appreciated

Thx

There is an organization called the City of Hope that helps abused women and battered wives in Dubai. They have an excellent reputation. Call them.

Here is their contact info:

The City of Hope, email cityofhope18@gmail.com, write to: City of Hope, PO Box 75193, Dubai, UAE or tel: +971(0)50.651.6511

My husband threatens he will immediately cancel my visa and send me back if i talk this with anyone.
Can he do that ?

You explain all that to the counselors at the City of Hope. They may be able to prevent him for canceling your visa with the help of the authorities. But don’t say anything to him until you see them first and they will advise you on what to do.

You can go to a police station to complain about it , and take a picture of the complaint and then go to Family Court in the Dubai Courts, and if you have a case in the courts of Dubai with your husband, the Department of Citizenship and Immigration they can help you by extend your visa until you finish your case.
