SUMMARY:Women in Saudi Arabia: A Feather in the Wind
DESCRIPTION:Ever since his ascension to the Saudi throne in 2005\, King Abd
 ullah ibn Abdulaziz has been taking cautious steps in the field of women's
  rights. Most notably in 2013\, he allowed for the admittance of thirty Sa
 udi women into the Consultative (Shura) Council\, which proposes some Saud
 i laws. Despite such steps\, the lives of Saudi women remain constricted b
 y the guardianship system\, a set of laws that explicitly discriminate bas
 ed on gender and infringe upon women's human rights. In her presentation\,
  Maliha AlShehab will present a rejoinder to the narrative of Saudi reform
  by illuminating the ways in which the guardianship system affects women's
  rights to education\, health\, employment\, and freedom of movement. She 
 will offer recommendations for local and international action to redress t
 he harmful effects of this system. Her presentation will be followed by co
 mments by Ali Al-Ahmed.
