Women's Rights in Saudi Arabia - Presentation
Hello. Today I’d like to pay your attention to problem with human rights. I have no doubt you know a lot about this subject, so all I want to do is just to remind you few things about this problem or simply to update your knowledge about recent happenings.
Strictly speaking I’m going to focus on problem with women’s rights in Saudi Arabia.
But first of all let me introduce you to the topic.
There’s a lot of countries like North Korea or China, where authorities don’t comply with human rights. We don’t even have to seek for those countries far away. Behind polish east border there are e.g. Belarus, Ukraine or Russia, where this problem is common too. There are limits to the freedom of speech, freedom of the press or freedom of conscience. Sometimes people are not allowed to choose religion or their own believes, and if they do choose, then they have to die for their choices. Political liberty is abridged or doesn’t exist. People are killed, go to prisons, their property is seized- all of that in the majesty of law.
On the other hand there’s a lot of organizations and other centers which are trying to deal with this problem. All of us have heard about Amnesty International or Human Rights Watch. You don’t have to be interested in this issue to have knowledge. Media gives us a lot of new facts every single day. One of them inspirited me to this presentation.
Let’s leave general thoughts and focus on subject which I found worth talking over. In my opinion one of the most interesting and probably difficult aspects of this problem is question about women’s rights in countries, where culture is determined by religion. This problem especially relates to Middle East, African and Asian countries, such as Kurdistan, Jordan, Afghanistan and so on. Saudi Arabia is one of them too. In this matter, connection with Islam is inappreciable.
According to the Guardian, the Saudi Arabia government is about to enforce changes in law, which allow only women work in stores
