Women from ages have been considered as the element to be suppressed and one who is ready to act as per the orders of her parents or husband. Not only in India, but women in abroad also, have always been subjected to exploitation and ill-treatment. But, now the times have changed and today women constitute a major share towards the development of the society. With the changes in the society and the mindset of the common man, people are welcoming the innovative and creative ideas of women workforce for the development of the country. Now, the scenario all across the globe has transformed and women have become an inseparable part of the operational force across the globe. The world has realised the value of women and today in many companies women are paid more than men and even work as their bosses. Countries like Gulf, where women were not allowed to sneak out of their burquas, now have women running the finances of the house. The contribution of the working women in gulf industrial and other business projects is increasing with the passage of each day and days are not far, when it would be just the women ruling the entire world.

The demand of women workforce has increased with the companies becoming responsive of the competencies and the intellect of the women employees. Countries like UK and USA have always encouraged the empowerment and contribution of women in the development of major projects. But countries like India and other Gulf countries have eventually realised their importance and giving them chances to proceed further and make difference in the countrys growth, with their presence. Now, different parts of the Gulf have ratio of women workers higher than men. In fact, many jobs in Gulf prefer women over men. There are many marketing and client servicing jobs, where the demand of women workers is higher than that of male workers.

Cities like Dubai, and other developed states in the UAE, were earlier considered backward in regards to women employment. They have restricted their women to the works constraining the households, and have always related them with the person handling the house, which is only their main job. But, after seeing the calibre of the women in all other fields in the foreign countries, Gulf is also opening doors for women workers. The skills and the talent of women have started being utilised in many fields like marketing, public relations, sales, writing, healthcare, etc. Now the cities like Dubai and Abu Dhabi have developed so much, that there are women running their own successful business houses. Teaching is also a popular choice for job among women in Dubai or other emirates of UAE.

The safety of the women working in UAE is duty of its government. The strict laws and brutal punishments of the places there, allows every woman to work with full safety and contentment. Sexual harassment and misbehaviour have very cruel punishments, due to which no one even thinks of misbehaving with women employees and extra care and security is provided to them by the companies in Gulf. Many women from foreign lands go to gulf countries for job, to earn their living and the safety features facilitated by the government in Gulf, motivates them to work there. Therefore women from across the world, look for job opportunities in Gulf, in various fields to pave a successful carer for themselves. The freedom and the independence provided to the working women in Middle East countries, also welcomes them to apply for jobs there and achieve great heights in their career.
