OPEN BORDERS   10 #25 Posted August 29, 2013 The Saudi Cabinet have made domestic and workplace violence against women - both physical and sexual - illegal for the first time in the Kingdom's history. Those found guilty could face fines of up to $13000 or 12 months in jail. More details here - http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/saudi-arabia-cabinet-passes-ban-on-domestic-violence-8789358.html  Whatever has come over them ? Someone told them its 2013, not 713. Wonders never cease. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Halibut   12 #26 Posted August 29, 2013 Will Saudi Arabian women be permitted: a. to vote; b. to drive alone or with a man; and c. to enjoy the same rights that males there enjoy?  Lets hope so in due course. In the meantime, surely even the most curmudgeonly amongst us can applaud this important step on the road towards equality. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
