Some Facts About Women

  1. The word “woman” is believed to have derived from the Middle English term wyfman, broken down simply as the wife (wyf) of man. In Old English, women were described simply as wyf, while the term man was used to describe a human person, regardless of gender.
  2. The biological sign for the sex, a circle placed on top of a small cross, is also the symbol for the planet Venus. The symbol is believed to be a stylized representation of the Roman goddess Venus’ hand mirror.
  3. In almost every country worldwide, the life expectancy for women is higher than for men.
  4.  Depression is the most common cause of disability in women, and approximately 25% of all women will experience severe depression at some point in their lives.
  5. Approximately one in five women worldwide reports being sexually abused before the age of 15.

My name is Annie Humair. I am a 24 years old working wife living in Dubai. Originally from Pakistan, me and my husband decided to settle down in this place of opportunities (which so far we haven't discovered).
I am currently working in an I.T solutions company.

The goal of this blog will be to try and make life a little easier for US. Lets come together,share,discuss,find solutions to our problems and help eachother.
