De saudi-arabiske kvinder har det ikke let.
Nogle af de love, de er underkastet, kræver, at de bærer hovedtørklæde, og at selv den mindste plet af hud på krop eller ben er tildækket. De må heller ikke selv køre bil.
En række kvinder i begyndelsen af tyverne, som læser på Kong Saud-universitetet i Riyadh, beretter - anonymt - at kvindelige lektorer, efter at de i slutningen af 80'erne havde deltaget i demonstrationer for færre restriktioner, blev afskediget. Da universitetet desuden blev anklaget for at være et "dekadencens arnested", fik religiøse ekstremister frit spil og nye forskrifter blev indført. For eksempel må kvindelige studerende ikke le højt eller bruge mobiltelefon og mandlige lærer har lige siden måttet undervise dem via intern video. At disse forskrifter overholdes, sørger det religiøse politi for.
En mandlig akademiker har udtalt, at problemets kerne er, at de fleste mænd ikke er opdraget til at behandle kvinderne med respekt..

The Saudi Arabian women are not having it easy.
Some of the laws they are submitted to, demands them to wear head-scarf and that even the slightest piece of skin at the body or the legs, are covered. Neither may they not drive a car on their own.
A number of women in their early twenties, who are studing at the King Saud University in Riyadh, narrate – anonymous – that female teachers, after they, in the end of the 80’s had participated in some demostrations for fewer restrictions, got dismissed. When the university furthermore got accused for being a “decadent hotbed”, the religiouse extremists could do what they wanted, and they got introduced to new regulations. For an exampel could the female students no more laught out loud or use a cellphone, and since then, male teachers have only been teaching them via internal video. The religiouse police makes sure that these regulations are being kept.
A male academic has say that the core of the problem is that most men are not being raised to treat women with respect.
