Unbelieable!



Excuse me, but these statement must be from another planet, and if not, from the middle ages. I really feel pity for all women in Saudi Arabia and can't really understand how can they be deprived of basic human rights based on the fact that they are women. I hope one day all Saudi women will have a decent, equal life in which they will exist.

Women at Home



Women should go home and look after a more critical issue which is to raise the nation ... to teach the next generation and raise stronger kids in ideology. People first need to understand that it is a fact that they are either men or women, and then play their role accordingly.

It is not just that man wants to dominate! A true man is raised by a true "MOTHER" which I do not find a lot of nowadays. Just see the new generations and how strangely they behave - they lack substance and the guidance.

After eons you pretend that you have woken up from a long sleep and found that there is discrimination. I will tell you the majority of women do not want to be like men in everything ... but they are those who have disorders and who wants to be like a man.

There is a difference between a father and a mother.

Women are left alone and then they face abuse. Houses are left alone with no guardian and then they face chaos.

Just to make things clear... I am not against women working ... but I am asking them to rethink how they were created, in what body they were fitted and then to work accordingly (and ask yourself as a natural women can I lift heavy stuff like a man, then you will say 'no sure I cannot man was made stronger than women' - this applies to a lot of other activities).

And I really want to know who are those women rights or human rights ... are they aliens? I don't they understand the difference ... but I will tell you who they are ... They are humans to are against GOD; well if they believe in him, and they are not happy with how he created him...

* Note: I am not Saudi ... and I don't say that they are 100% correct ... they are human after all!

Not true at all



I would like to comments in some points in the article

As a decent e-newsletter we look up for right and correct information. I am a women working in a mix work environment like many of other females in here. Our religion and law does not prevent us from working with other males. However, it does prevent from being in a closed room a single female with a single male and I think that is right.

In addition, Saudi women have improved themselves in many areas and they even take a lead in others.

(Denied access to health, judicial and other public services without first obtaining permission from a male guardian.)

This statement is totally wrong as I said above I am working alone and away of my family in a mixed area
and we can go to any facility, health, judicial ,other public services and shopping and a lot more, and we even many times come home late.

We are not in a closed, backward system.

So try a little bit to dig out for the truth before publishing the wrong information.

Women told to stay at home- Can you please learn from your mistakes



Despite our constant messages pointing out your mistakes in http://www.arabianbusiness.com/517141-saudi-women-denied-basic-human-rights - Arabian Business has shown it is as ignorant as many western written newsletters. CUT AND PASTE NO VERIFICATION

Once again
In your article on women and human rights you write, "Under Saudi law women are not allowed to be alone in the company of a male guardian, which can either be a father, husband, brother or son." This is false. In fact, the only MEN that women ARE ALLOWED to be alone with are their guardians or close relatives - father, husband, brother, son, grandfather, uncle, grandfather, etc.

May I kindly ask what are you trying to prove - it only discredits your publications. Sorry you are off our 'list of reputable sources of information' as you fail to read what you right even if you are corrected.

Shame on you.

Editor's Reply This is a mistake and we apologise. What we meant to write was under Saudi law women are not allowed to be alone in the company of anyone other than a male guardian, which can either be a father...

The text will be corrected.

It is getting better .. !



This subject has been discussed for numerous times. I believe women rights in Saudi Arabia are improving. Saying that women should stay home and bring up children is an old fashioned way. It is still going on in Saudi, but not in the major cities like Riyadh, Jeddah, Al-Dammam, etc. The life in those cities is getting expensive and the two couples needs to work in order to provide the needs for their home and children. Going back to this issue, again the country is improving and it just a matter of time and hopefully will see more women rights in the country. I hope you realize that Saudi Arabia is a conservative area and people will not accept change that easy. :)
