Saudi Arabia may put women in workplace

Ghazi Algosaibi, Labour Minister of Saudi Arabia has pointed out that his plan to put women in work place won’t take a back seat in spite of the rigid resistance from clerics and businessmen. On Sunday,AL Ikhbariya, Saudi television station reported Algosaibi’s views on the issue, according to which, he wanted to put an end to the prevailing ultraconservative rule by giving work to the native women. Until June, next year, the implementation of the rule has been expected by the businesses as well. Consequent upon which, the native women will replace foreign male labour in lingerie stores. Businesspersons are quite stringent on the issue because firstly, this may increase the labor cost and secondly, women working in shops would be considered as against the Islamic law.
