The Rights of Saudi Women
from The Breakfast Podcast · host Patricia López Muñoz
From birth and throughout their lives, women in Saudi Arabia remain under the supervision of a male member of the family, usually her father or husband. They need a permission and consent for matters as simple as starting certain studies, living alone, getting married, accessing certain medical treatments or even getting out of jail. Defying these prohibitions or disobeying a “guardian” may be grounds for sanctions.
