In October 2020, scandal in Doha: Passengers bound for Sydney undergo a forced gynecological exam (that is, rape) to find out if any of them have recently given birth. Indeed, the Qatari authorities have just found an abandoned infant and are therefore forcing passengers to undergo a smear for those suspected of having been in the discovery of the baby. The Australian Foreign Office expresses its indignation at such a practice. Qatar makes a big apology: "Even if the aim of these urgently decided reviews was to prevent the escape of the perpetrators of a horrible crime, the State of Qatar regrets the distress or the violation of individual freedoms that this action may have caused to travelers. ".

A woman who risks big in Qatar

The case rebounds after authorities say they have located the mother of the child, identity confirmed by DNA analysis. The Doha prosecutor says she knows she boarded the plane after leaving the baby. He talks about parents from South Asian countries, where many immigrant workers in that state come from. The mother reportedly told the father to abandon the baby before fleeing the country. In Qatar, women who become pregnant out of wedlock are punished according to the law applied in the country. The mother of the child, wanted by the authorities, faces 15 years in prison. Access to abortion and contraception is complicated in this country where women's rights are restricted.
