Women Rights in Saudi Arabia

Women Rights in Saudi Arabia


Women rights, a topic that you hear about it everyday on T.V, Radio, newspaper, conference, symposium, and club. Each religion decide women right and give people the way to live. But today on Liberian country women always seeking for them rights and ask to be equal with men. But some country as Saudi Arabia, which based his political on Islam, women look different in appear and life.


In Saudi, women wear dress that cover there whole body, you can see them wear headscarf in US too, and cover there whole body, for me as a Saudi woman, many people ask me why I wear like that? What the wisdom behind that?
If you have an expensive diamond or jeweler, are you going to keep it in safe box or in front of whole people eyes? By answer this question you will have the answer for the other question. We protect ourselves from looking for us in such sexual way, so no one can expose her.

Women drive, one of the hottest topics nowadays in Saudi, women seeking for them right in driving, and I am one of them, but in the other hands, we are looking for the rule that will keep us safety in the road until we get home. Most of women in Saudi have there driver who can pick her and drive her to any where she want, or any men of her family member can take her, well maybe she look like a queen, however, many women need to drive by themselves in such situation where she don’t has a money to hair a driver or if she don’t have any men who can take responsibility for her.

The breadwinner is men, who should take the responsible of bringing money and work for his family. In the last few years, women enroll in many jobs and enter the work life, so many of them support them family with her husband or maybe her self if she works alone. Women haven’t the responsibility to support there family that’s up to her and she can keep her money for her self , but she can’t work if her husband doesn’t accept, she would listen for him to protect the family and married from broken to save this sacred relation.

Work field is restricted to few jobs that compatible with Saudi women the top of them are in education and medical field. For me, I face a problem while I was searching for job in advertising agency, most of these agencies haired foreign people and they don’t want to understand the privities of Saudi women because of that many parent refuse many jobs that include mix life and traveling and prefer traditional jobs as teacher and doctor.

More than one wife, this is the most misunderstand topic in the world. Why many men marry more than one woman. Well men shouldn’t marry four its up to him and the standard is having one wife, and for me I want to be the only wife for my husband, but in many situations men need to get marry and that also healthy for social where the percentage of women is higher than the men, being wife and treating such a queen is better than being a girl friend or such things. Many amazing stories you can hear it about wife who encourage her husband to get married .Also, when woman is sterile and man want to be father and he don’t want to get divorced from his wife ;therefore, he prefer to get married from new wife .However, many men do that to protect themselves in this sexual life when he is not satisfy with his wife. Anyway, in each situation ,he should be fair with his wives .

Those the most important topic in my point of view that get the majority part of argue in the world, by writing these lines I am trying to clarify the picture and the misunderstand and display my opinion in objective way. Women in Saudi have many rights that women from other country seeking for at least you will never find too old woman have to get out and work to live.
