Abstract

Gender inequality is a huge dilemma in developed countries. According to the ChartsBin (2013) statistics about gender inequality, Saudi Arabia has a high indication of gender inequality. Middle East societies have distinct gender differences in rights and obligations in society. For many years, Western societies have focused on Saudi Arabia as one of the countries that has the highest gender segregation. Since Saudi Arabia is a country where they apply Islamic laws, the Western media blames the religion of Islam for creating gender inequality and not being fair to Muslim Women.
