Saudi Arabia Lifts Restriction On Women Traveling Independently

Saudi Arabia is one country that placed restriction on women traveling independently. However, this restriction has ceased to be because a law was passed recently that makes it legal for women to travel without the permission of a male guardian.

This has been regarded as the most significant change in Saudi Arabia’s guardianship system. A new law has been passed into motion and has been approved, allowing women to travel independently as well as giving them the right to obtain a passport.

This law comes with so many privileges which are of great advantage to the women in Saudi Arabia, both in the home and at the workplace, as women now have the right to register as co-head of households.

This new law has been regarded as history in the making as it resolves the issue of gender inequality.
