Part II: The long road to women’s rights in Saudi Arabia

Lesson Brief Human Rights Watch
In 2014, Human Rights Watch reported on the long road towards women's rights in Saudi Arabia. The article noted that after four Saudi princesses had been confined to their homes by family members, the Saudi authorities rushed to contain the resulting damage by claiming that they would be issuing an important statement regarding women's rights  before the UN. However, the statement never came and instead the Saudi government stressed the many small steps it has taken to improve women's rights. As of December 2015, Saudi women had been elected to municipal councils; however, women in the country still face many equal rights obstacles. The attached video reports on a campaign to stop violence against women. Part I Part III This set will take you through مصطلحي "استغلال" أو "اعتداء". Additional Vocabulary:
