Greek Women in Dubai: “You go to the parties in Dior, and if you leave alive, you get $10,000 and… PTSD”

On Friday, 32-year-old Effie boards a afloat packed formation to Dubai. A parent of two, divorced, and moving arsenic an influencer, she claims to beryllium going for merchandise promotion and immoderate buying portion spending the play there. What Effie does not notation is that she is not promoting anything—she participates successful porta-potty parties, gatherings wherever the twisted fantasies and desires of ultra-rich “bosses” are fulfilled. These parties are present infamous arsenic events where, successful the best-case scenario, “you spell successful wearing Dior, and if you permission alive, you get $10,000 and PTSD.”

Effie is conscionable 1 of the galore young women who each Friday capable planes headed for the glamorous emirate. At these notorious porta-potty parties, wherever women from each implicit the satellite are utilized arsenic quality toilets (porta-potty virtually means portable toilet utilized connected operation sites and outdoor locations) and abused successful the astir perverse ways, fractional of Greece shudders. Literally, arsenic Effie endures this to “earn” astir $10,000 per week. Not each week, but astir weeks erstwhile she is “invited.” On different occasions, she supplements her income with “regulars”—Greek imperishable clients—charging €250–300 per league for intersexual services. This is however she maintains her costly lifestyle: a location successful a bully neighborhood, backstage schoolhouse for her children, and a luxury SUV. “She earns the wealth herself, but everyone pays—from the bakery and rent to the gym, hairsbreadth salon, and nails,” says a collaborator, who admits that the trouble lies successful making the wealth earned from these parties look legal.

When the enactment goes wrong
A important detail: porta-potty parties chiefly instrumentality spot successful Dubai, but not exclusively. The situation is somewhat safer present that the UAE relaxed laws regarding enactment extracurricular of matrimony (since 2022), but immoderate individuals exploit this change. Parties often hap not lone successful villas and edifice suites but besides successful tents successful the mediate of the godforsaken and connected super-luxury yachts, which sometimes cruise Greek islands, Italy, and different parts of Europe. In each cases, since nonrecreational luxury escorts usually bash not work these parties, each precaution is taken to permission nary grounds of these events for Dubai constabulary oregon judicial authorities.

Organizers wage handsomely to “order” girls from nearby, often influencers oregon models, who are past presented to clients via Instagram and TikTok. Agents often airs arsenic representatives of immoderate Arab prince, but successful world service ultra-rich Emiratis arsenic good arsenic highly affluent Europeans, Americans, Australians, Asians, and others seeking a play escape. There is adjacent a “trial version,” allowing clients to enactment successful a constricted capableness for a symbolic interest of $1,000 to spot what the “package” includes.

The word “porta-potty” describes these parties literally: portable toilets combined with money, luxury, a dreamlike manner successful a crime-free country, but besides with sickness, danger, and the eventual humiliation of quality dignity. Girls study being approached by agents who contiguous the “package”—with outgo ranging from $10,000 to $100,000 depending connected beauty, age, services provided, and notoriety. At the parties, participants are turned into quality toilets, forced into intersexual acts with animals, beaten, imprisoned, and humiliated successful assorted ways—including being shaved bald oregon adjacent mutilated astatine out-of-control parties reminiscent of the astir disturbing snuff films.

Sometimes, the enactment goes terribly wrong. For instance, 20-year-old Maria Kovaltsiuk, an OnlyFans exemplary from Ukraine, disappeared past March aft a porta-potty enactment astatine a edifice (to which she was invited by 2 men claiming to beryllium manner professionals) and was aboriginal recovered semi-conscious successful a operation tract aft falling from a floor.

A broadside note: Maria yet survived her ordeal, but not each women do. According to journalistic investigations, astatine slightest 2 different participants died aft falling from buildings oregon owed to exhaustion, starvation, oregon different consequences of weeks of maltreatment astatine specified parties. Influencers study that participants—usually affluent Arabs oregon almighty Western businessmen—sometimes transverse lines, causing superior injuries to women.

Maria Kovaltsiuk appears to beryllium 1 of the women who, erstwhile the enactment went wrong, was abused and thrown from a gathering into garbage. She doesn’t callback precisely however she was injured, lone that during the party, participants “started drinking heavy and teasing maine due to the fact that I wasn’t. Then they became assertive and said, ‘You beryllium to us, we’ll bash immoderate we privation with you.’”

Whether the 20-year-old Ukrainian fell unfortunate to a rogue enactment oregon thing else, rumors abound astir terrible injuries to women who participated successful specified parties oregon who refused and were abused, adjacent to death.

Defense for participants is difficult—both physically and legally—as they motion heavy documented NDAs earlier attending the parties and receiving payment. They are besides warned that Dubai law, inactive strict regarding enactment extracurricular marriage, could imprison them for adultery if it is shown they had intersexual relations with joined men. This, combined with the signed contracts, discourages immoderate reporting to authorities.

An unwritten regularisation besides exists: what happens successful Dubai, stays successful Dubai. Participants are usually invited discreetly: “Private yacht. First-class ticket. You’ll emotion the view.” Among telephone girls, a small rhyme circulates astir the dangers of porta-potty parties:

“You get successful Dior, permission with PTSD. Because this isn’t conscionable a party. It’s a porta-potty party, and no, it’s not funny.”

And indeed, it’s nary laughing matter. The carnal and intelligence trauma from beatings, radical intersexual assaults, humiliation involving feces, and vulnerability to life-threatening situations tin effect successful terrible PTSD.

There are nary tickets
As mentioned, connected Fridays, flights departing from Eleftherios Venizelos Airport to Dubai are truthful afloat of young influencers and models that seats are highly hard to find. “Not lone that,” explains a Greek nonmigratory betwixt the Emirates and Athens, “but connected weekends, each escort services successful Greece are fundamentally closed due to the fact that they cannot support up with the request from Dubai. And note, we’re talking astir nonrecreational escorts paid from 1,000 dirhams (approx. €250) per hr who don’t serve… utmost tastes similar those astatine porta-potty parties.”

Greek participants are usually “recommended” oregon referred. Direct approaches from agents are rare; instead, different girls, acting arsenic some participants and intermediaries, enlistee newcomers.

After incidents similar Kovaltsiuk’s, older influencers are asked to support the referral system. They guarantee the newcomers’ secrecy and present them safely into the circle, providing immoderate assurance for novices.

“You beryllium to maine now”
There are longstanding cases, specified arsenic a Greek exemplary connected a mega-yacht enactment who, aft overdosing connected cocaine, different drugs, and alcohol, became unconscious. She endured beatings, intersexual battle with objects, and was struck until unconscious, yet hospitalized the adjacent day. Her retreat from the country became a cautionary communicative for others.

It is considered safer (if the connection tin adjacent beryllium used) to be with a person alternatively than alone, due to the fact that the concern tin crook unsafe successful moments. A operation Kovaltsiuk heard is astir modular astatine porta-potty parties:

“You beryllium to maine now.”

Owners dainty their “property” arsenic objects, covering them successful filth, forcing them to devour it, endure beatings, radical humiliation, oregon confinement successful retention rooms and ample trash bins—sometimes for aggregate nights.

This, of course, is exploited by girls who present enactment arsenic intermediaries, for a fee. Being introduced by an “older” subordinate to the close paying clients, parties, and opportunities is valuable. They telephone this outgo the “ticket”—for access, guidance successful choosing the close parties, and handling net without falling into the taxation authority’s scrutiny.
