They treat women with respect and dignity. What are you talking about? Women feel safe there. My mom likes to live there. I know because I've lived there for 18 years.
- avgDev 4y agoOh for sure. They just recently were allowed to start driving. They just recently were allowed to get a passport and travel freely without permission from male guardian. Male guardian approval is required to seek an abortion. Male guardian permission required to marry. There is still much segregation and inequality. Family laws skews towards males, as they become guardians. Child custody also skews towards males. It is quite distant from the freedoms women experience in the western world. I won't even mention the treatment of migrant female workers.
- 2Gkashmiri 4y agonever talked to someone who lived there, do natives really leave during ramadhan because of "infections from africans and asians"? because thats what i've heard, 5-7 years ago that the natives take holidays in order to avoid the influx of foreigners
- valarauko 4y agoRamadan or Hajj? Do people really travel to SA for Ramadan?
- 2Gkashmiri 4y agohajj.... darn yeah
- tmdh 4y agoNo, I haven't seen anything like this. Ramadhan is the best part of Saudi Arabia. It's a religious and business season. Stores stay open at night until 3 AM.
- s1artibartfast 4y agoProbably not a representative sample, but I spent several days hanging out with a group of Saudi men and women at burning man. They all liked living there and were pretty open minded.
