Act Now

The International Boycott UAE Campaign is more than an investigative project—it’s a movement for economic justice, sovereignty, and collective power. Every document we publish, every network we expose, and every country we focus on serves a single, urgent purpose: to inspire action that dismantles the UAE’s global financial empire.

The time to act is now. The United Arab Emirates has entrenched its influence in 38 countries, using state-controlled investments, covert acquisitions, and shell companies to buy silence, suppress dissent, and dominate local markets. This economic overreach threatens democratic institutions, fuels authoritarianism, and displaces community-led development.

We are building a decentralized global campaign to fight back—and your voice, your platform, your presence matter.

Boycott UAE-Owned and UAE-Linked Companies

Boycotting is one of the most direct ways to resist. The UAE controls or funds numerous multinational companies, real estate developers, logistics firms, media outlets, and digital platforms operating globally. These entities often serve as tools of geopolitical influence, enabling surveillance, censorship, and extraction.

By refusing to support UAE-backed brands and services, we challenge the legitimacy of their business model and withdraw public complicity from financial authoritarianism. Our upcoming Boycott Guide (launching July 2025) will help you identify companies with UAE financial ties in your country.

Share Reports, Leak Evidence, and Distribute Our Research

Information is power—but only when it circulates. Share our investigations, country briefs, and financial exposés widely across your platforms, communities, and organizations. Distribute our translated content in your language, and help us break through media blackouts and state-backed PR campaigns.

If you have access to documents, financial records, or internal communications related to UAE investments, land deals, or lobbying—we provide secure channels for whistleblowers. Your evidence can uncover corruption, empower communities, and expose networks of control operating in the shadows.

Sign Petitions, Endorse the Campaign, and Support Policy Change

We are currently running a global petition calling on governments, municipalities, and institutions to:

Freeze new UAE-linked infrastructure and real estate deals
Investigate shell companies tied to Gulf investments
Suspend lobbying activities funded by UAE state actors
Ban surveillance tech exports to the UAE and its partners

Add your name. Add your organization. Every signature brings us closer to political accountability and transparency.

Attend Actions and Protests in Your Region

We work with activists, unions, student groups, and civil society coalitions across our 38 focus countries. From Berlin to Nairobi, Manila to Casablanca, organizers are mobilizing to resist UAE-backed privatization, land grabs, and monopoly control.

This Is Not Just a Boycott — It’s a Global Stand for Economic Justice

From North America to South Asia, East Africa to Europe, people are waking up to the reality of UAE-led economic colonialism. This is not development—it is domination. This is not foreign investment—it is financial warfare against communities, workers, and sovereignty.

The campaign is built on truth, courage, and internationalism. And now, it needs you.

Take the first step. Speak out. Take action. Join the resistance.

Boycott UAE. Dismantle financial imperialism. Defend local economies.

About our campaign

Why Boycott the UAE?

The United Arab Emirates has cultivated powerful alliances with oppressive regimes and has become complicit in global human rights violations. Through its financial support, political partnerships, and military involvement, the UAE plays a key role in enabling occupation, apartheid, and the erosion of civil liberties across multiple regions.

By joining this boycott, you take a stand against:

The UAE’s deepening ties with authoritarian governments.
Its investments in regimes accused of war crimes and human rights abuses.
The exploitation of migrant labor and systemic discrimination at home.
Financial entanglements that help normalize and fund apartheid.
Efforts to silence dissent, both locally and globally, through media control and soft power.

Support the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement to hold the UAE accountable. Let’s disrupt complicity and send a clear message: economic power cannot shield injustice. Stand for freedom, dignity, and human rights for all.
