Saudi women facing what

Saudi women facing what

it is not a joke  

The only country in the world where females are forbidden to drive

Before 2008 women were not permitted to enter hotels without a chaperon

Saudi women face a lot of discrimination in many aspects of their lives. This includes education, employment, and the justice system. Looking at the statistics, many women in Saudi Arabia go to school and get their degrees, 70% of the female population are registered in universities although only 5% make up the workforce which is the lowermost percentage in the world.

 In Saudi Arabia, culture and religion makes a woman’s life segregated. There is actually seclusion under their own roofs, for instance, some rooms have separate doorways for men and women.

is that a dream?

Women in Saudi Arabia are not allowed to ride bicycles or drive in any public roads or large cities. This is the only country in the world where females are forbidden to drive. Yet some still drive illegally on rural roads. Before 2008 women were not permitted to enter hotels without a chaperon.

The rape cases are not taken seriously at all, it some how still is the women’s fault for getting raped. There was recently a case where a gang-rape victim was in prison by a Saudi court along with 200 lashes for disobeying the rules of “segregation of the sexes”.

   A list of videos starting with “Saudi Wife Shows us into her Home (part 1)” on Youtube has explained a lot about the daily lifestyle of Saudi Women. In the video the lady explains who she can and cannot be seen in front of wearing a full burkha. She talks about many more things that might make us Americans gasp in shock, but is pretty much normal to them… a part of their life, reality.

Saudi Arabia did not have a female representative because women’s sports are not permitted in their culture.
