Qatar: Why women feel safer at World Cup 2022
"For me as a woman on my own, it feels safer without alcohol in the stadiums. I just don't like it when everyone is drunk."
Bete Basica has travelled from Sao Paulo to Qatar to support
Brazil at the World Cup. She's come to Souq Waqif - the central marketplace in Doha - to buy some souvenirs before she heads home.
A huge football fan, Ms Basica writes about the game and has recently taken a football management course. She has travelled on her own for the tournament, and fondly remembers the "magical" time in her home country during the 2014 World Cup it hosted.
Speaking to the BBC, Ms Basica says the experience is very different in Qatar.
"Sometimes I'm the only woman in the metro," she says. "I get many 'looks' - but that's it.
"You read many things about [the region], that it's very dangerous for women. But I feel respected by everyone and I had no problem being here on my own."
