Rape in the Workplace

gabriela_nilapastangan's picture

My Boss [name removed by admin] a Lebanese National, Marketing Manager of [name removed by admin] sexually abused me by touching my private parts while we were left alone in the office at [name removed by admin]. He told me not to tell anyone otherwise he will remove me from the company and tell bad things to our Qatari employer [name removed by admin] succeeded in abusing me when we were left to stay in out office one night and our car service left early. He told me to wait while he finished tidying up his room. He then called me inside telling me well discuss some marketing strategies. Though scared, I was more scared not to obey him for I have no business visa yet and he threatened to cancel me out of the company if i refuse and send me back home. upon entering he's office he went out to fetch a glass of water and I heard him locked our office door. upon entering [name removed by admin] remove her jacket and asked me if i knew how to do a massage. I told him no but he told me to do it otherwise. and told me they'll be working soon on my VISA. Upon massaging his back though im really nervous at that time. He suddenly grabs me and forced me to sit on his lap. and [name removed by admin] forced himself to me be grabbing me by my hair and forcing himself to kiss me. I started to beg not to for I have a child back home. and threatened to shout, He then covered my mouth by his big hands. [name removed by admin] is about 5'10 and im only 5'2 in height he then grabs a letter opener and pointed it towards me. acting to stab me with the letter opener. Afraid he started to open my blouse and ask me to remove my skirt. with my underclothes left He started to undress himself and still the letter opener in his hands pointed to me and asked me to give him an oral sex. Sobbing he pointed the knifelike letter opener on my neck and asked me to lean on the desk and forced himself to me. This time i was already crying and this made him laugh asking why would i cry when i already had a child and that i am no longer a virgin. he laughed at me when he was finished and told me that filipinos like me doesn’t have any place in the arab world. He gave me 10 Riyals afterwards and told me to take a taxi all the way to mesaeed. The next day I went to office late and still shaken from what happen the night before I saw [name removed by admin] talking wth our accountant [name removed by admin]. They were laughing while they throw a glimpse of me. Then we do our usual work that day. We came to our office late that night from a late night 10 pm meeting with a client near ramada signal. Our accountant [name removed by admin] was in his office and saw us come. i was about to leave our office to go home when [name removed by admin] and Egyptian national called [name removed by admin] to his office. [name removed by admin] then asked me to wait a while. After a few minutes [name removed by admin] proceeded to close the main office door. and told me [name removed by admin] would like to discuss with me my Business Visa. I went to his office while [name removed by admin] followed me. upon entering [name removed by admin] office I saw him undressing and turn my back only to be met by [name removed by admin] arms and grabs me into the office. [name removed by admin] was laughing while [name removed by admin] hold me. They then forced me against the wall and start to remove my clothes. reeking from [name removed by admin] cigarette stench. [name removed by admin] and [name removed by admin] takes turns in mashing my privates parts. from my breast, buttocks and all they want, they were like crazed maniacs laughing while they forced themselves into me. They forced me into the floor and forced themselves into me. They took turns of holding me down while the other forced himself to me also covering my mouth. I was crying frantically. after about an hour they allowed me to clean myself up and ask me to sign my contract if I would not tell anyone. It was a contract on a company Letterhead and told me they will legalize everything the next day. I kept my mouth shut for the weekend Friday. and went back to work on Saturday hoping for a better day. Finally I saw our boss the Qatari talking with [name removed by admin] in his office. [name removed by admin] told me I am not doing a good job and have to let me go. for then I saw our qatari boss signaling me to leave the office. [name removed by admin] told me the Qatari boss doesn’t approve of me and wished me to leave the company. I tried to go to the Philippine embassy but all they can do was to asked me for them to just give me a proper release document. They bought me a one way ticket home and cancelled my visa upon the directives of the Qatar Labor Law. [name removed by admin] told me that it is forbidden in Islam to have sexual relationship with Arabs, pertaining to what they did to me. I was devastated, they raped me and it turned out to be my fault? Is this what Islam is all about? Is the Arab Justice?

I'm so sorry about what happened to you, no one should have to go through this.

First try to get to a doctor, you may need to be checked to make sure that you did not contract any STD's. Tell the doctors you were raped as there are special procedures for this. Then go to the police and tell them what happened, and your embassy.

Try to bring along a friend to support you in this. These men need to e locked up, or they will do it again and again.

My thoughts are with you.

pearl of qatar said Lebanese rapist ...

My sympathies to you. This must be very traumatic, and you have been very very brave to publish this on a public forum.You have shown great courage. It is the first step to your recovery. HOWEVER, you have named these 2 guys in a public forum and made serious allegations about them. You cannot turn back now. There's only two things you can do now- see a doctor and see the police. In western countries the law allows a woman to seek justice for these crimes many years after they have happened.Remember you may not be the only victim..... and any other woman out there having experienced this - save the evidence and go to the police immediately!
You go girl!

IOU's picture

IOU said geez ...

Eco-savvy are u for real? she's to blame? yes, she made a mistake not to report it first time, she got scared, you don't probably understand, how it takes to admit and come out open when you had been raped because you are not a woman. But for you to say those to her is unacceptable, you wouldn't want to give her sympathy fine but at least understand that in this part of the world its not easy especially if she's alone here, no families, worrying of losing a job that could help her feed her child.

Cheers!

wizmotr's picture

wizmotr said Your story makes me so angry... ...

But according to Sharia law the testimony of a woman is only half as important as that of a man. The fact that two men will say that you weren't raped (or that you tried to seduce them) to your single voice means that you are outvoted 4-1! It isn't fair! It isn't justice! It isn't what God intended! But it is what Islamic law says.

I'm not sure that protesting to the police or courts will get you anything but more pain. I'd suggest leaving the country ASAP, go home, hug your child, fall into the loving embrace of your family and friends and get on with life. Then if you feel so inclined, contact a lawyer here who can represent you without you being in the country and subject to further arrest, embarrassment or humiliation.

King Edshel's picture

King Edshel said OMG :( ...

I was really shocked reading this story :( I don' know really what to say because you let me speechless. The crime of those two is really unforgivable and they should be punished that the others would think thousands, millions of times before not even touching but think of but looking at those poor ladies :(

I'm not in a position to blame you for what happened, but you should had reported them from the first incident. They understood from you coming to the office like nothing happened that you would be always afraid to say anything or report them which gave them a reason to go further. Those two who are not human and are less than animals [sorry for that].

The raping experience is the worst ever experience that a woman can had in her life. it simply destroy your life and you need a lot to stand on your feet again or forget it :( Wish if I was just in my country, I would've taken my M-16 from there and shot those two like dogs [sorry again but my blood is boiling :(]

I'm asking god to revenge you and let you see those two suffering until the last day of their lives for what they did. I'm sorry sister but nothing can be done ... Check with your embassy and see what can they do .

Goodnight everyone :(

u should have reported and not posted up such a grahpic testimony on a public forum to bunch of unknown people.

maybe you should go home - i dont' know what you could do make things right.
it is difficult esp if a non-muslim woman goes up against muslim men... well thats my experience.

When u get home post up their bloody photos....it is difficult to report now.

Scarlett's picture

Scarlett said gabriela.... ...

take a friend with you and go to the police...I kow you should have gone after the first incident but that's over and done..the second, well again...but do it NOW...

For you guys that think its so easy to just go report a rape, it isn't..not even in the countries where women HAVE rights against rape and molestation. Its a crime of violence..AND it violates your body..which is the worst part..its not only physical, its mental. Add to that fact she basically has her word against 2 men who have no conscience in the first place and treat her worse than an animal..much les give her 10 riyals...its no wonder she didn't go to the police.

Having dealt with women who were raped back in the states....we were lucky enough to have a hotline for reporting...but going in person to the police station, then to the hospital for the rape kits to be done..all the while feeling violated even more..not allowed to take a shower and wash the filth off your body because youare washing away evidence...you men can't imagine the horror and self loathing these women go through. Thinking all the time that perhaps if they hadn't done...whatever...that it wouldn't have happened...not as simple as you think...animal like that don't deserve to be on the face of this earth.

I hope for your sake Gabriela that justice can be served and that these two filthy creatures spend the rest of their lives in jail...you have my thoughts and prayers with you, sweetie...please take some of the good advice these people are offering you and NEVER, and I mean NEVER think it was your fault...because you ALWAYS have the right to say no...even if you have to kick, bite and scream to do it..take a piece of body part with you and that way there is no mistaking that he was the agressor..

Scum like these have a very special spot in hell. Go to the nearest police station, u have nothing to lose at all, report it, and they will do the rest. It is difficult i am sure so go with a friend to support you, and be very very truthful and inshallah those bad excuses for human beings will be thrown into prison and then deported. Its not ur fault at all, some people don't even have the courage to say a word about it, what you did is very courageous and u should go on with it to stop people like that.

Yes, they are right, you really have to go to the Police and report it. These bastards must be put in jale, for your's sake, and for other women's sake, with whom the same can happen and most probably will. It's a horrible thing that happened with you, and don't even think for one minute that it's your mistake. These people (and unfortunately much more) are mindless crazy monsters, so they deserve to get punishment. Please do it, and keep us informed what happened! I wish you good luck with everything!

I am so sorry to read that. My sincere sympathies with you. Islam, as a religion, TOTALLY prohibits out of wedlock sex and they are just criminals.

I must emphasize that you're a little late now. So first seek some help from Human Rights commission or some independent journalists. They will really help you fight your case in a right manner.

May ALLAH help you.

PM said Oh my dear God ...

This is an absolutely horrible thing to read and to think of it happening to some poor woman is too much to imagine. I agree with everyone that you must go to the police here if there is any way possible but you might first seek out the women's shelter here. I read about this in the paper a few months back but have to loof for the contact info. Perhaps someone else will provide it faster.

This is not Islam and in fact, I hope that the system based on Islam here will give you some justice. I know that God will, insha'allah.

We have a law and we have human rights. I understand that you get scared that you might lost your job but its not good that u keep quite just to keep ur job and u know that u suffer yourself. Think of yourself and your family., is not end of the world that you lost the job! A lot of company that u can apply. Im sorry to say this things im so affected of what happen to u. Go to philippine embassy and ask for assistance, before it happen to other people again. I hope u will tell us what is ur status now.

This really reflect badly on the Embassy & it is unbelieveable that they are so unprofessional.

 

canarybird's picture

canarybird said the problem is ...

Although your story is sad and you think you have no rights, the Philippino community is very strong here , and no one would blame you for going to the police or the embassy.

However,you are to blame - you should have taken this up with the police or a lawyer and a least the Embassy/Consulate. This might and will definately happen to other girls being employed by that same employer, you opened a door for this to continue.

It is in you interest to claim justice, go to the police or even have a report issued through the embassy claiming the names and the name of the company otherwise you will have suffered in vain.

Go and fight for your rights I am sure there is someone who will help you, if you don't you have just opened a door to all others to do the same to any poor immigrant into the country.

wizmotr

I hope that your soul is deemed for hell, how dare you put such a post to a girl who has been injustified, do you think God will forget what you wrote. Poor and helpless people have to be protected from people like you and may you bathe in your comment, how dare you try to console a woman with your preaching. HOW DARE YOU!!!!! THIS IS THE MOST OUTRAGEOUS THING I HAVE READ HERE TO DATE!!!!!!

Go out and fight for your rights and I am sure someone will listen, be sure you are not the first one and will not be the last one, but at least make an effort to help those who come behind you.

this saddens me deeply and being as well a filipino, im disappointed with some of people here of how they are treating US..of how they look upon us like this...(made my fingers shaking while typing)...

my kabayan, my only advise to you is go home and from our country you can file a complaint against these people..(i dont know either how this thing works, but seek assistance from our country)...dont know how to uplift your morals with what happened...pray for more strength to endure the pain (emotional/physical) that this cause you..

im speechless and i really dont know how to send my words properly to you..

Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.

 

wizmotr's picture

wizmotr said aratchhb & cbird, I'm not saying it's easy for her... ...

I agree with Scarlet about how hard it will be for her. She needs both personal and emotional healing. The rest of us want justice. But what kind of justice can there be? Certainly none for her--nothing can give her back what she had before this whole ordeal began. The best case is that there will be fewer victims for these evil men in the future. Maybe they will be punished and punished severely, but will that be enough for G?

Only healing will help her and in my experience--even in western legal systems--restorative justice is never really practiced. The victim is forgotten about--called to testify under the most brutal and insensitive of cross-examinations (I've been with women as they had their day in court--I've seen it).

Now combine this with Qatar, where I'm sceptical that a woman or an expat (let alone an expat woman) can ever get a fair hearing, and a country where G may not even have a strong caring support network, and I'm just afraid that she'll be victimized again by the legal system.

We should all be careful before we ask her to become the poster girl for workplace sexual assault--is she up to this? That said, if I could castrate these guys without anyone knowing it was me, I would.

 

canarybird's picture

canarybird said wizmotr - she might ...

You are wrong, her biggest mistake is that she did not go directly to the hospital, the hospital would hav in turn informed the police and they would have found evidence.

Unfortunately some Philippinas have a reputation and to protect the name of one would be extremely difficult. Some things just wont heal until justice is done.

You think there will be fewer cases, no they got away with it this time and they will get away with it again, is this justice for a woman no not at all. They try this at any agae and with any woman and not until they fall can something like this be recitfied.

Nothing you can say can heal the mind of this woman she posted that post because she wants justice.

Of course, going to the hospital immediately would have been best. It would have resulted in the gathering of irrefutable evidence and her emotional state at the time just after the assault could be witnessed by others. But that is water under the bridge. Perhaps others will learn from this thread should (God forbid) it ever happens to them.

And I agree that in this case the perpetrators may go free. I'm not saying that they WON'T do it again; I'm saying that the only reason to take them to court is TO PREVENT/RESTRICT them from doing it again.

What's happened has happened. Even if these guys get beheaded, G will still need to find the personal healing she needs; that sort of healing never comes from the criminal justice system--it only comes from listening ears and the care and love of a supportive family and community. Can she get that here?

canarybird said wizmotr - you wern't raped ...

You are not a woman and have not idea how a woman can feel, you have no idea how and injustice can be carried with you all your life, and most of all you have no idea that when you do confront perptrators how they laugh it off until it gets to the ears of their families.

These are facts and no one believes that a man married with 3 kids molested his sister/or whoever and gets off with his who life until one day it comes out.

There is no justice for these crimes - there is still no right for woman who bear the scars of this under whatever name it is carried out. The women have to carry on with their daily life as if nothing had happened - you are a man so you will never ever in your life understand this.

There is no healing it stays with you all you live, it is something like dirt which can never be washed off, because every so often it pops up in your mind and that a whole life long. Don't talk ever about healing it never comes around.

you are publishing this coz you didnt got the job? If this a true story, they should be punished to max. but why u stayed silent for days, i mean u said yes coz u need job!!??, come on, we are not in jungle,you should report them immediately and put them in jail, dont you have friends to advice you at that time if u were confused, we directly blame Arabs and Islam, look further more and see others what are really doing, i mean if u dont like Islam and Arabs just leave their country, no thing is more important then self respect and dignity, right?

i advice you to report them, its never too late, but be careful they will ask you why you wait till now

My sympathy to you..this is bad and I feel bad too. You should not let this happened twice, but it hurts when one of the rapist said that there is no room for filipinas in an Arab World? How come they have Filipina girlfriends? and some of these Filipinas are stupid to believe that these guys will propose marriage to them. I really hate this and Philippine embassy is no use, belive me they are useless..

nothing buddy ... This is the say of the sick minded people only. I don't think that if i would go to the Philippines that you would be having issues with me right? This earth ... This land ... This Universe ... and all of these countries around the world belongs to god and not to us human so we can say such things.

We are all humans and there is no black or white ... eastern or western ... Arab and none-Arab it is just that people would never ever learn until god put them all to be judged by him on the judgment day ... There is no such a concept in our religion, god says all of you are equal ... the only difference is in the Good Deeds that you do in your life.

What happened is extremely bad and I already have tears in my eyes. Take a look at this message i received from Qatar Journal:

Qatar has set up [0]a court to hear labour disputes, according to theLondon-based Economist Intelligence Unit. Before the court's creation,workers had no recourse other than through the National Human RightsCommittee, whose rulings could be ignored by employers. The new court hasa panel of three judges who will hear cases related to dismissal,promotion, non-payment and arbitrary cuts in wages. Earlier, officialsfrom the Ministry of Interior said they would deport foreigners theyconsidered a threat to national security. "According to the Constitution,[1]our right to protect the country's interests cannot be questioned,"Colonel Abdullah Saqr told journalists at a meeting to discuss aforthcoming human-rights workshop. The Constitution guarantees fullautonomy to the Judiciary and at the same time gives the country theright to deport those who pose a threat to national security, he said.

Go and look up for this panel and explain your story I pray Allah will bring Justice to you.

Is that because we are only Filipinas that's why they are treating Pinays this way? I know for a fact that there are Filipinas who ruin our image getting foreigner bfs here and there and asking for thi and for that..but not all Filipinas are like that.

We are not prostitutes or sluts that can be paid after you abuse us. We are still humans and we have feelings..Please do not treat as like animals.

King Edshel said buttercupryle ...

I can't see any problem in a Filipina getting a bf from other nationalities and you were right because you said: 'bfs'. I never believed or trusted any Guy or Girl with multiple relations. What is the purpose of such relations? Only god knows ... It depends on what do you want from this relation ... the good and the bad is not associated with a certain nationality and these roles runs for all human beings. Generalizing is just unfair, you can't say that all are bad because of few that you met or because of having bad experience with some people.

I have a lot of Filipino friends and all are nice, but it happened that i met some who did not accept me because I'm a none Filipino and were rude to me with no reason while they did not give themselves and give me the chance to know each other like the others did. I can't blame them because of what they are hearing about Arab guys [my Filipino friends telling me that i look like Luke Mejares, hope that would help :)] but the same thing again. There is no one who can be completely Good or Bad ...

Best Regards

diamond said I am truly sorry that this ...

I am truly sorry that this has happened to you. How very devastating. I am very angry that these guys got away with this. They will probably be looking for their next victim. For them to even mention the word Islam is a complete joke. It also sounds like the Philippines Embassy were worse than useless.

It is my understanding that you are back in the Philippines. I have no idea what you can do from there. You should find out. I'm not the first in this thread to say that you should have gone to the hospital the first time where they could have collected eveidence for the police. Of course hindsight is everything. In the moment of a horrific incident like that it is difficult to think straight.

I truly hope you can go forward from this horrific event. Explore what you can do from the Philippinnes and what you can do from here. The Embassy should be able to advise you on this. If not a local lawyer could.

I don't imagine you wish to come back to Qatar. But try to do something which will at least serve as a warning to the worthless men who perpetrated this violent act, if it is too late to prosecute.

My sincere sympathies. ______________________________________________________
