The Human Rights Watch report says women in Saudi
are treated like children

Saudi women and their male guardians

In Saudi Arabia, every woman has to have a male guardian, usually a husband or father, who makes critical decisions on her behalf.
She cannot get married, divorced, travel, get a job or an education without a man's permission.
In many cases she cannot even get routine medical procedures without express consent from her guardian.
A new report from Human Rights Watch says women in Saudi are treated like children, and that government policy towards them results in daily abuses of their basic human rights.
Shiulie talks to Farida Deiff, the author of this report, and to Wajeha Al-Huwaider, one of Saudi Arabia's best known womens rights activists.

Editor's note: Compare the mistreatment of women in Saudi Arabia to the mistreatment of those guardianized by the Probate Court of Cook County.  Lucius Verenus, Schoolmaster, ProbateSharks.com
