Arabian women to drive?
The king of Saudi Arabia Abdalla declared that the government will approve the new bill about driving.
This bill consists in letting Arabian women drive. As the king said there would be a lot of difficulties in approving this bill. One of the main reasons is the fact that it will be hard for men to change their attitude towards women.
According to Saudi traditions women?s rights are highly restricted. They must not drive, work in the companies where men work, elect. In September 2005 women got rights in the Chamber of Commerce and Industry. In December 2 the elections of the Chamber Chief will be held and it will be for the first time when women can take part in elections
