Picture circulated on social networks
A Saudi newspaper published a picture of a local woman told to clean a shop owned by an expatriate man, describing it as a “provocative picture".
Sada said the picture was circulated on social networks and said authorities should act immediately to stop what it described as “the exploitation of the woman".
“Many viewers considered the picture as provocative and stressed the need for authorities to act now to stop the exploitation of this woman and other Saudi women who need jobs.
"Authorities should also strictly enforce laws banning women from working at men’s shops,” the paper said.
A remarkably uninformative piece.
Provocative? You can’t see any part of her body. Good grief!
OMG women who work! that cannot be allowed.
nothing to lose their heads over
oH HEAVENS NO...not sweeping the FLOOR???
whats this word coming to???
lets alert the same morality police who forced those school girls to burn to death a few years ago....
I think what’s provocative to them is not her body, but the fact an expatriate, i.e. foreign, man is ordering her around.
Maybe if you're only used to goats.

We’ll need a ruling from Laz.
Ah, I get it. It’s OK if a Saudi man orders her around or even beats her, but it’s “provocative” if it’s a foreigner. I’m sure that would make her feel better.
Quit worrying.
I’m sure NOW will be all over this.
Are you certain the photo isn’t from Cook County Ill-annoy? Our Democrats are always trying to stop poor people from working.
Boy, that’s really hot, /S
Maybe what’s provocative is that in Saudi Arabia, a non-Saudi is getting a Saudi to work for him.

Funny how the word provocative has lost all it’s other meaning in this country except for the sexual meaning...
Fairly obvious the article had nothing to do with anything in a sexual nature but everything about the role of Saudi women in their culture...
Imagine a non Saudi man bossing a Saudi women around....how uncouth ... / S
A Muslim woman is serving an unrelated man - not haram.
