Women's Rights in Saudi Arabia

 Raid Qusti, editor of Arab News, reminisces in an article back in 2003, "Women's Rights in Saudi Arabia," that Prince Khaled Al Faisal, founder of the Arab Thought Foundation said; "Saudi Arabia is probably the only country in the world where the government is pushing for reforms and the people are pulling back."  Now, 6 years later, we are still talking about women's rights in Saudi Arabia, and how traditions often hold it from developing quicker.  Do you think much progress has been made since the time this article was printed?  Is it enough, or is there more progress that needs to be made?  As young Saudi women, this issue is felt most by you, and your opinions should count the most.  Let us know what you think about women's rights in Saudi Arabia on your web sights, and feel free to comment here too.

       Prince Khalid Al-Faisal the founder of the Arab Thought Foundation is one of the Saudi intellectuals who supports the issue of women's rights in the kingdom.I do agree with him that despite the diligent work done by the Saudi government to eliminate all kinds of dicrimination aganits women,strict tribal traditions prevent people from accepting the government's reforms in this respect.
