All Male - Women’s Rights Conference in Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia’s laughably prestigious University of Qassim played host to one of the biggest women’s rights conferences in the Arab world. 

Ironically, the institution managed to hold the event without the advice or attendance of a single woman.

Themed around the topic of “Women in Society” the conference, originally intended to be held annually at the University, is supposed to set a benchmark for tolerance & progress in the region..

Delegates & speakers from more than 15 countries showed up.

As is to be expected from Saudi Arabia, a country with a twisted interpretation of Sharia Law, 0 women attended the event.. At least not in the same building as the men..

Saudi Arabia is still ranked 127th out of 136 countries for gender parity.
