Saudi Arabia: Build City Exclusively for Women

It’s truly a no man’s land ! Saudi Arabia is planning to build a city exclusively for women to encourage career oriented females within its strict Sharia law.

All Women City..!

The Saudi Industrial Property Authority (Modon) has been asked to bring the country at par with the rest of the modern world by building the all women city, with construction to begin next year.
The new city will allow women’s desire to work without defying the country’s strict Islamic laws.

Sharia Law is the moral code & religious law of Islam dealing with crime, politics, and economics, as well as personal matters such as sexual intercourse, hygiene, diet, prayer, and fasting.

Women Workforce.!

Although Saudi Sharia law does not prohibit women to work, figures show that only 15% of women are represented in the workforce.

The plan coincides with the government’s ambitions to get women to play a more active part in the development of the country. Among the stated objectives are to create jobs, particularly for younger women.

 Mr. Saleh Al-Rasheed, Deputy Director-General,  Modon said, “ I am sure that women can demonstrate their efficiency in many aspects & clarify the industries that best suits their interests, their nature & their ability. We are now working on a second industrial city for women. We have plans to establish a number of women only industries in various parts of the kingdom”
There will be women run companies and production lines for women.
