Let's take a look at this ladies and gentlemen, here is an interesting topic. During the late 20th and early 21st centuries, women's rights in Saudi Arabia have been limited in comparison to the rights of women in many of its neighboring countries due to the strict application of Sharia Law in Saudi Arabia. The World Economic Forum's 2016 Global Gender Gap Report ranked Saudi Arabia number 141 out of 144 countries for gender parity, down from 134 out of 145 in 2015. A woman in Saudi Arabia, Rahaf Mohammed, landed in the Toronto airport late January. Perhaps far north of her intended destination, the 18 year old believed she was heading to Australia after she escaped her alleged violent family. She was stopped en route in Bangkok whilst Saudi Arabia authorities pressed Thailand to send her home. After several days in the hotel airport Rahaf was granted a silent in Canada. All women are subjected to the guardian laws as well as Ms. Mohammed, which makes a huge difference on how men take charge in the decision making process and by these women needing permission from said spouse. The Prince of Saudi Arabia would like to relax that system, this month officials said that they were going to let loose on that specific trait of parliament. They want to rid of all loose ends with the situation that occurred between Ms. Mohammed. These reforms show that Saudi's leadership is serious about improving the lives of women; or is it all for show ??? A female citizen of Saudi Arabia cannot marry or issue a passport, travel abroad, take a job or even open a bank account without the permission of her guardian/spouse. Madelia Rasheed is a visiting professor at the London school of Economics and a vocal speaker for Saudi Arabia, although, her citizenship was confiscated in 2005. They are to receive a signature of a male relative who happens to be her father and if the father is deceased then it is then the responsibility of the brother. If impossible, her husband or consent of another male relative shall suffice! So in reference, somebody’s son could “also” be a guardian. It's important to look at the political content that's taking place. Saudi Arabia understands that this particular situation received tremendously bad publicity about men and their roles. There is also question about the runaway girls and how young an age they possess, as mentioned before. Roughly about 18 young women escaped from the country as we stated above. This is upsetting, being that it punctures the narrative about men and how they want us to believe that maybe the Prince was empowering the women; he is providing new jobs for them, and he would like to attract global investments by making Saudi Arabia look more acceptable to global investment groups and perhaps it will be abolished soon, especially the travel portion. However, many questions about women's rights in courts dealing with divorce and children and many other areas where women and men are deprived from still remain. Between the women and men, it is far from the end of its natural condition. This is where the collision has began and it's not far from anything worse. Hopefully the time consuming and misinterpretation will not interfere with the nations economy with this one, so what do we do now?
We shall wait...
