Saudi Woman Cleans Shop: Picture Branded 'Provocative' (Exploitation of Women)
Emirates 24/7 ^ | Tuesday, September 02, 2014

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!

In Dubai earlier this year I went on a “desert safari” with three young (30’s) Saudi women.We just happened to be assigned to the same Toyota Land Cruiser.All three wore western dress but they did wear small head scarves.They were absolutely gorgeous.If I was 20 years younger I....well,never mind...moslem country anyway.

I think what’s provocative to them is not her body, but the fact an expatriate, i.e. foreign, man is ordering her around.

This seems to be the problem: "Authorities should also strictly enforce laws banning women from working at men’s shops,” the paper said.

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.

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.

-——I think what’s provocative to them is not her body, but the fact an expatriate, i.e. foreign, man is ordering her around.———

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.
