The nation’s women, the right to vote
It is a ‘Saudi Spring’ of sorts. For the nation’s women, the right to vote and run in local elections in 2015 is a giant leap forward, though they remain unable to serve as Cabinet ministers, drive or travel abroad without permission from a male guardian.
Saudi women bear the brunt of their nation’s conservative values, often finding themselves the target of the unwanted attention of the kingdom’s religious police, who enforce a rigid interpretation of Sharia law on the streets and public places like shopping malls and university campuses.
In itself, Sunday’s decision to give the women the right to vote and run in municipal elections may not be enough to satisfy the growing ambition of the kingdom’s women who, after years of lavish state spending on education and vocational training, significantly improved their standing but could not secure the same place in society as that of their male compatriots.
That women must wait four more years to exercise their newly acquired right to vote adds insult to injury since Sunday’s announcement was already a long time coming — and the local elections were held on Thursday.
