The Saudi's also: - sentenced a 12 year old kid to death for participating in a protest - chopped up a journalist staying at Saudi embassy in Turkey with hacksaw's because he was critical towards the royal family - sentenced a woman to life in prison for tweeting - are massacring and torturing migrants on the saudi-yemeni border (most of whom are woman and children) - started the saudi-yemen war, which is still ongoing and not talked about at all in the west despite it being a humanitarian catastrophe But apparently all of this is a-ok in the eyes of western governments as they are more then willing to bend over for their oil money.

All governments are the same, not just western. All politicians are bought. The war is not covered in a critical manner because the media is partially owned by the Saudis. Just like the Palestine war is not critically covered in the US media because ... well ... you know ... what Kanye West said.

Even educated Western expats had/have to give up their passport. The country is heading in such a bad direction economically they will be forced to use women more to make up for the lack of GDP outside of oil. In 50- 100 years Saudi will become a basket case and they know it. I am just waiting here quietly to see it all fall apart 😅

I'm a woman who used to work in the oil and gas industry and a Saudi company our firm was doing work for requested a meeting with me which turned out to be an interview. Apparently one of their big wigs had apparently noticed me and wanted me to come back with them and run their office for them. I said no, several times, then had to pry my hand from the 2-fisted grip of the interviewer I'd given a goodbye handshake to, and hyperventilated my way back to my own office. Well by the time I'd arrived they'd already called and had them fire me so that I would be available for hire as being dedicated to my existing job was the excuse I'd given them for saying no. I lost my shit! With my manager's pleading fading into the background behind me I stomped back there and tore the interviewer a new one(I wish I could remember what I said but I was so mad it's just a blur). I got reassigned to a new project but thankfully didn't lose my job.

On one job I was with a group of 6 of us, and one guy had a Christmas card with him, his family had given it to him to open on the day. The security guard pulled it out, tore it in half and threw it in the bin. "That's not allowed" was all he was told. The guy was about to say something when our escort stopped him. Later telling him it's 'not worth being thrown in prison for'! Can you imagine the WAR that would break out if that happened to a muslim in the west? Holy shit man (in more ways than one!).

Absurd given the scorching heat and the fact that she was middle aged by that time. The only reason nothing happened to us was because my father was friends with a high ranking Arab oil executive. Years later when given a chance to work there I declined. There are better places to look for work.

I lived in Saudi Arabia from 1977-79 when I was a kid it was just after the King killed his own daughter for trying to elope with a commener. Our compound was waaaay way away from any village in the middle of the desert outside Al Wadi. When the women were taken "into town" to get groceries, they were rigidly chaperoned, had to keep everything covered up and were not allowed to talk to any locals. Many Western women were publicly beaten if they didn't follow the rules or they showed too much ankle or wrist, then the exposed skin would be painted green. Barbaric to say the least...

The second time I went I could go out in civvies but I have to have at least 3/4 length sleeves and no touch any of the males I had to be in the company of. On a side note, in 1996 the entry point was blown up, not long after I returned state side. The building I stayed in was not far from there. The third time, just traveling from one base to another, I had to wear Abaya while traveling in a vehicle.

As a skilled worker, he said he was treated quite well despite being both Korean and Christian. He further said that his biggest complaint was simply boredom.

I have a Filipino acquaintance who has one sister going for work as a domestic worker, supposedly well paid. They haven't heard from here since shortly she arrived there about 10 years ago. The job was supposed to be for 2 years only. And any Saudi government agency contacted simply refuses to even talk to any family member, not even acknowledging that she is in the country (for which they DO have prove, she apparently took a picture of her passport with the entry stamp and send it via social media immediately while still being in the airport)...

Brutal, despotic, friendly, corruption crusading, tyrant; while alot of forms of government in some places can tend to favor types like hamas in their war against isreal and trees; and the prince had also been petitioning or deliberating about women's driver's licenses, not that he can live on his house boat forever, but they must really like dungeons and dragons, painting, and making minis though.

A person comes to your village one day and offers a great opportunity to get a job with a wage more than twice you could hope for in your village, or even if somehow you managed to find a job sewing in a factory. That's how it's done. They have it all set up with even special check in at the airport where you'll see large groups of young girls heading to the middle east every day in Indonesia. Most work their contract and come home as hoped but it's really easy to become enslaved especially when going through a shady broker.

I have seen it happen to my friends. Imagine selling your land from back home to get enough money and moving to a different country to find new opportunities only for some previlaged fat shiekh to revoke your visa on a whim. It's truly raging. I honestly regret coming here but i have spent way too much money to go back now. So i will try to make some of it back so my siblings can have a better future.

Given the fact they decided to call themselves the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia despite being ruled by a prince, it's honestly no surprise they don't care much for human rights. Just the fact they don't at least call their monarch the King is enough to cause me physically pain.

Saudi Arabia is technically still ruled by a king, 87 year old King Salman al-Saud. But he’s old and frail, and he doesn’t appear in public for months on end. Therefore, his son, Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman (or MBS) rules in his stead, and is the de facto head of the country. Therefore, while MBS rules in practical terms, the Saudis do have a separate de jure king.

About 10 ish years ago MBS did quite a bit of political maneuvering to become the crown prince and assume a lot of his fathers authority. Its a very large family, and so there is plenty of less than friendly competition.

The reason women are treated the way they do in SA is because the Quran says they should be, nothing else. A woman's testimony is equated to half the testimony of a man. This is the same in many other Muslim states that base their laws on a book.

Recently watched a documentary from I believe the BBC where a group of Philipina activists helped two Philipina maids escape from a Saudi family visiting England. It's really scary to think basically anyone from southeast Asia could become a slave so easily based on the discretion of the family who hired them. Everyone bringing staff from one of those countries where slavery is happening should be separated upon entering a Western nation and interviewed with activists present to make sure they're not being forced to stay in that situation.

they are not powered by religious beliefs, rather they are using religious beliefs as an excuse. i should mention i am no muslim, but i do know their beliefs have a lot in common with christians (both accept the old testament of the bible, for example). that means that at the core of the muslim religionshould be love and many of their rules can be traced back to that concept (women having to cover up as to not offend others or make them uncomftable, for example, would be an exclamation of their love for others, because you wouldnt want to bother them). the problem occurs when they take 1 tiny part of a religion, twist it way out of proportion and then use it to opress others, however these so called muslims are not the only ones guily of this. this kind of behavior was happening even when jesus was around, and he actively called people out on it, and many modern christians are also guilty of this
