The news of the Kingdom of Kingdom of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia finally gave the women of the conservative kingdom the driving right, but both domestically and globally were welcomed.
This problem is a matter of all human rights abuses suffered by women in Saudi Arabia under the male guardian system of the kingdom. This allows female husband, son, or father to manage almost all aspects.
Madawi al-Rasheed, professor of social anthropology at the London School of Economics in Saudi Arabia, said at the BBC's fourth show today that the Saudi administration is using women's issues to disseminate bad reputation at an appropriate time, " It was.
"Talking about driving is the most important thing - it's important for women's sports ... but there are still some legal restrictions [this is also an urgent matter], she adds "This is a long struggle and a long road to serious equality."
King Salman and Prince Mohamed bin Salman executed "Vision 2030", a long-term blueprint for economic and social reforms aimed at modernizing Saudi Arabia and avoiding reliance on oil income.
There have been some commitments to female citizen's reform so far, but some important decisions that Saudi women can not yet do include the following:
Marriage permission must be given by your wali or guardian. A woman trying to marry a foreigner must obtain approval from the Ministry of Home Affairs, marrying with a non-Muslim is very difficult and impossible.
Currently there is work permitting the Queen to work without men's permission, such as working in clerks or outdoor market, but you can not manage your financial situation with your bank account without permission.
In Saudi Arabia 's legal system, women' s testimony is only half the value of men. Women can only get half of the legacy their brothers are entitled to.
Passport and identification must be obtained with the permission of the guardian of the man. A woman can not leave home alone.
The rules of colors, decorations and scarves have been relaxed in recent years, but every woman needs to wear a long robe in the public place.
Conversation and time with non-family members are limited. In public places, restaurants, universities and other places have "family" parts and men's part.
In the case of divorce, a woman can gain custody of a child before a 7 year old boy and a 9 year old girl.
Saudi Arabian women and girls face severe discrimination in law and practice. The ban on driving is just one example of many living areas in Saudi Arabia where women are deprived of human rights. Women can not receive travel, paid labor, higher education, or marry without permission of the guardian of the man. In 2013, women's rights activists began similar initiatives to overturn the ban on 26th October 2013. One of the activists, Loujain al-Hathloul, announced the start of the event with a video officially posted online. Immediately after the announcement, several women activists were repeatedly intimidated by the authorities, and they were forced to quit the campaign movement. On 24th October, the Ministry of Interior said that if the event began "firmly and powerfully" said it will respond and hacked the event venue on 25th October.
