Zitat des Tages von Basmah bint Saud:
Today in Saudi, women are either at the mercy of their husbands or at the mercy of judges who tend to side with the husbands. The only circumstance that a woman can ask for a divorce or a 'khali' is when her husband is in total agreement with her or if she comes from a very powerful family who decide to back her up.
I want to state clearly that I am a humanitarian, not an activist. I do not follow any agendas - only that of humanity, not only in Saudi Arabia, but all over the world.
On the whole, it is the rights and freedoms of all citizens that are crucial in Saudi Arabia and from those the rights of women will emanate.
If China was like the moon, then arriving in Saudi Arabia was Mars. At least you can see the moon from Earth.
Early Islam was a time of great creativity. Scholars excelled in sciences and literature.
The way women today are treated in Saudi Arabia is a direct result of the education our children, boys and girls, receive at school.
My father established the first women's university in the kingdom, abolished slavery, and tried to establish a constitutional monarchy that separates the position of king from that of prime minister.
