TAKE ACTION against male guardianship in Saudi Arabia--Saudi women have a right to education!

[Equality Now]

Take Action! Equality Now has just issued Women’s Action 31.4 Saudi Arabia: Give women equal opportunities to education and end male guardianship over women which adversely impacts rights to education.  Equality Now calls upon the government of Saudi Arabia to revoke all requirements that hinder female students from pursuing their education at all stages including the requirement that a male guardian accompany any Saudi female who studies abroad on a government scholarship. In addition, Equality Now calls upon the government to ensure that the Saudi legal and judicial system reflect the stated claim that women are not subject to male guardianship, but rather have the right, among other things, to pursue all levels of education with access to the same fields of study, educational resources and facilities and on the same terms as their male counterparts.
