Women Are Not Allowed To Use Public Transportation
One of the most surprising things in Saudi Arabia is that women are not allowed to use public transportation no matter what happens! In fact, even, the bus companies would refuse to transport them for the reason you and I can hardly understand!
However, women in this country can take the train but only if they set in a separate car at the end of the train. Otherwise, you know the rules! For this reason, most women in Saudi Arabia would walk, take a taxi, or most of the times be transported by their personal driver.
University Education Is Not Prohibited And Not Necessary As Well!
When it comes to education, women are not prohibited to study but they are definitely surrounded by many strict restrictions and limitations. Still, guess what? The percentage of women in Saudi Arabia with a college degree is even higher than that of men.
This clearly proves what we have mentioned before. There are some silent rebellious women voices that are desperately looking for a change but unfortunately find it hard to speak out!
Women in Saudi Arabia can continue their education overseas and this only happens when their guardian provide his permission and approval. Still, the process remains a bit hard and challenging as women can hardly get a scholarship and most of them would stay home even after receiving a pedagogical or scientific education.
