anmolmehta rated 4 weeks ago- Nice to hear of women coming into their own in these regions.

- I have heard the women aren't offended by their lack of rights - because they are treated so WELL by men in Saudi

- "Saudi women are not permitted to drive or vote. But scrap-metal C.E.O. Nadia Al-Dossary hasn't let that slow her down." I was recently discussing the conditions in Saudi Arabia with a friend.. and we both came to the conclusion that it's more complicated than people think. You want to respect their culture but not at the expense of women's rights. Where do you draw the line? What about the women who don't want change.. you don't want to force a certain way of life onto these people but you want to give women the oppotunities they deserve.

- Just a side note, when was it configured for humans to relate to the other sexes in terms of GDP? Calculating a persons worth through GDP, are economists in the know that we're dealing with people, not just workers?

- Nadia Al-Dossary; a trailblazer and MAJOR business-owner in Saudi Arabia. Finally, at long last, Muslim women in the most traditional Islamic countries are laying claim to their heritage and birth-right to own and operate businesses and to trade on the world stage. Nadia, you give all women hope! You GO girl!!

- "If the other women and I weren't making a difference, they wouldn't challenge us." ~ Nadia Al-Dossary, C.E.O. of Saudi Arabia's largest scrap-metal business.
Saudi Arabia is decidedly not an easy place for women to succeed: Women are not permitted to drive or vote, and until January, could only travel if accompanied by a mahram, or male guardian. Men and women who are not related to each other are not allowed to appear together in public (which makes business meetings difficult), and a woman who wants to operate any venture that doesn't cater primarily to women--such as a women's dress shop or a beauty salon--needs the signature of a male sponsor.
King Abdullah has pushed for more training for women, who currently make up a mere 5 percent of the Saudi workforce, and has set up offices devoted to women's issues in Saudi ministries and chambers of commerce. At the same time, women's business groups have been lobbying for changes in laws that restrict their entrepreneurial activities, and senior Saudi princesses have begun promoting networking events for businesswomen. - "If the other women and I weren't making a difference, they wouldn't challenge us." ~ Nadia Al-Dossary, C.E.O. of Saudi Arabia's largest scrap-metal business.
