A TikToker exposed the dark side of living in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE), describing it as a “dystopian hell.” The executive director of a human rights organization has since reacted to the influencer’s now-viral video, highlighting gender violence and the danger that comes with trying to defend victims.
Taking to her TikTok page on August 5, a woman who goes by “Anna” uploaded a video showcasing a couple of photographs of her time working in Dubai.
In the slideshow, which has amassed over 620,000 views, the first picture showed Anna seemingly posing on a bridge in the Emirati city, with a text that read: “If you asked me about Dubai.”
