This regime is now letting women drive, that`s good. But it is a huge problem that they don`t have any jobs to drive to.

Yeah, that's nonsense. Women have been working in Saudi for years now!

They dont have many job opportunites.

Bear in mind I recruit in the Middle East for a living Shania!

It's not an equal playing field in the workplace yet, but employment opportunities for women have come on leaps and bounds in the last 3 or 4 years!

That could very well be true, Tarbie! Retail businesses is where most women have worked in so far, But these days, quite many young women with education from abroad (Britain i.e.) are now coming back to seek jobs in more progressive fields. I think equal job oppurtunities for men and women is step one away from the their dark history which include Wahabism at it`s worst. It could be that Im a tad naive here, but anyway.

Well....

”Under Saudi Arabia’s repressive guardianship system, women and girls face systematic discrimination, both in law and in practice. Women are unable to travel, engage in paid work or higher education, or marry without the permission of a male guardian. In addition, Saudi Arabian women married to foreign nationals cannot pass on their nationality to their children, unlike Saudi Arabian men in a similar situation.”

Just proves you shouldn't believe everything you read on the internet Swede. Have a look on LinkedIn and you'll see many thousands of women in professional jobs in Saudi.

The lady whose website I've linked below is a friend of mine. She's been a Director in IBM Saudi and has been championing jobs for Saudi women for years now.

Have a read mate, find out what's actually going on rather than just spouting hot air and disapproval.

So you think a website made by herself (and her guardians?) is more reliable than a site from Amnesty.........

No, I think the fact that I know her personally, and the fact I've been doing business in Saudi for 10 years means I probably know what I'm talking about!

Are Human Rights Watch and Amnesty doing fake news?

If they are saying categorically that there are not career opportunities for women in Saudi Arabia in 2018 then yes, they absolutely are mate.
