WOMEN DRIVING IN SAUDI ARABIA
Gender inequality has been one of the major challenging problem that has been experienced in Saudi Arabia since time immemorial, women are treated as lesser breed compared to their counterpart men. Important roles like decision making, implementation of policies are mostly men role and no woman is suppose to contribute or argue in decision making . Women rights such as voting, travelling outside their country on their own and driving cars are some of the cases that are denied to (Sodafeldt ). This paper will seek to enclave and give explanation as to why the Authority in Saudi Arabia prohibit women from driving, conclusion and recommendation that need to be done to alter the situation. Al-Rasheed argues that oppression of women , their rights and the role their play in the society as the main stumbling block that Saudi women faces . He goes on further to explain that Gender Gap Index, Culture, religion and traditions as the main reasons as to why the trendy has continued despite the international community pressure. These social implications explain best why women are denied their social right in Arabia.
It is believed that only close to 30% of Saudi Arabia women are literate and the less are illiterate without basic education. Moreover the system tend to favor men with best curriculum system leaving women with substandard education, they also can't take engineer and law course because the authority in charge dictate which field study. No co-curriculum activities for girls which limit chance of growth in girls from primary school to up university. This deprive women of their fundamental rights (Sodafeldt).
Another explanation is gender gap index, Al-Rasheed talk about it being below the standard as compared to other countries. It is believed that only about 12% of the Saudi population women are in the employment list and if employed in less job group compared to their counterpart men who are on the helm of some of the biggest companies in the government. Though they are under educated they should be employed and hired to position equal to their men.
Generally speaking Gender Gap Index lock off women of their chance of making it in big the business because no matter how the level of education no promotion in the job ranking. This tend to demoralize women in the quest to success.

Another explanation is the culture background of the Saudis which seek to undermine or restrict women from doing certain job in the society which they feels are man field. Islam tribes like Wahhabis and Salafis are known tribe that are main oppressor of women. They see them as object and should be subjecting them to some strict cultures which tend to deny them those right including driving and better education of women in the society. Women are prohibited to owe certain assets like cars, land, estates and business. Women are suppose to keep company of their men when they want to travel outside their country Saudi. (Al-Rasheed).

Another explanation is religion which portray women as weak sex and their should be faithful to only their husband and they are superior. Some tribe of Saudi Muslim scholars interpret doctrine differently "with opinions called Fatwa" (Al-Rasheed) which seek to excommunicate women in the society. Wahhabis and Salafis tribes have strong believes about the religion and the preach about women oppression and right infringement this in turn increase the Gender Gap Index and segregation. These religion believes undermines women because un respected and not recognized. This in fact degrade women in the society leaving them with no representation and voice the rights and support from the religion which should be in forefront fighting human injustice and right abuse. (Al-Rasheed)

Another explanation is strict patriarch rulers that has ruled the country from dynasty to dynasty with no intention of changing policies and social issues affecting the country human right. Saudi rules are considered to be harsh, draconian and barbaric 19th century rules which are not only rigid but also dangerous and sometime painful. Saudi government imposes rules denying women to vote and processes ID one of the most important documents as a citizen. Saudi authority also treat women as a lesser sex and it only embrace men more than women. Saudi Rules also restrict women from driving car to over speed of 10km/p which is opposite what men do. Authority seems to feel inequality and other social injustice that harm human, in this case women. (Meijer)

"Traditions is another factor has denied women of their right in Saudi" (Ramsdal). Because of being raised in the family where strict rules must be adhered to it is difficult to go against what tradition dictates and but to comply. As a matter of fact women in Saudi are used to the system and some of them enjoy much to be driven rather than to drive themselves.

It is a bit difficult to offer solution to end some of intricacies faced by women like driving right in Saudi because this problems has been there perhaps from centuries. The lasting solution lies with Saudi Authority and it citizen.

Finally Saudi Authority should stand firm and fight Gender inequalities,
Gender Gap Index, culture, religion, tradition. (Ramsdal) Point out that despite or the pressure from west community and worldwide at large it only Saudi Arabia people can Solve their problem. In addition to this west community and human civil rights group should stand up an press for change in Saudi human right.
