Saudi Arabia is attempting to reassure LGBTQ+ visitors ahead of hosting the 2034 World Cup, even though homosexuality remains criminalised.
20% of the parliament is women. Beating the US congress.
The guardianship rules doesn’t apply for working and traveling. So any woman over 21 can apply for a passport and leave if they feel like it.
77% of women has a secondary (high school) education and 37% participate in the workforce.
Yes Saudi Arabia has a long freaking way to go, but they’ve been closing the gender gap in recent years.
Womens rights is a theme among several middle eastern countries, I’m naive enough to believe they understand it will benefit society and not done so entirely to befriend Europe
The 119th Congress is 28% women.
Not exactly a brag, still about 20% short, but I suppose it’s still a win when compared to the Kingdom of Saudia Arabia.
Oh that makes it better, they only need to be accompanied when going about their daily business. Got it.
So long as they have the permission of their male guardian, the approval of the authorities and they’re not trying to flee with their kids.
Thats not the flex you think it is.
You could say that again.
Ah yes, 20% of the government appointed puppets are women.
That’ll make their theocratic genderapartheid much better.
