Saudi plans anti-molestation law to protect women
Saudi Arabia is planning enacting stringent anti-molestation laws to protect women at work following a surge in the number of female employees and a royal decision to let them run in municipal and parliament election.
The Saudi king on Friday granted women seats on the country's top advisory council for first time, a much-awaited step for women to get a toehold in Saudi Arabia where males dominate the political system and ultraconservative religious Islam law tightly controls daily life of females.
