Employers that put employees in dangerous situations without regard to their particular vulnerability and without adequete security should be finacialy liable for incidents of this type.
If I have an employee that works in a hazardous location, I am not able to avoid damages by saying the employee was a roofer, they shouldn’t have fallen or if they suffered injury they understood the risk.
On the other hand, all of this was common sense. This is the Middle East we’re talking about here and dealing with Arabs.
While I agree with you, we live in a PC culture now where to "protect women" is to discriminate against them.
We are putting women in similar situations in the military. It is a bad idea. How many women will be raped in these unstable areas before we wise up?
