Saudi Arabia allows women to work in female accessories outlets

  • Saudi Arabia: Monday, January 07 - 2013 at 04:17

Saudi Arabia's Committee for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice (CPVPV) has given Saudi women the green light to work in shops selling female accessories as long as they are subject to the rules of Islamic Shari'ah, Ahram has reported. The committee will be authorised to restrict women from this type of work if they violate Shari'ah law, said the head of the CPVPV, Sheikh Abdullatif Al-Sheikh. Last December, the Saudi labour ministry said there were a total of 1.7 million female citizens who do not have jobs, despite the fact that almost half of these women hold university degrees.
