Law and Ethics Assignment

The law I don’t like in the world today is the law against woman driving in Saudi Arabia. It’s a Fatwa on woman’s driving of automobiles prohibits women from driving and from obtaining a driver’s license. Saudi Arabia is a country who has so many ridicules laws against woman’s right. I just chose one of them. The life of a woman in Saudi is like she cannot apply makeup, no independence from the guardian, a male guardian is supposed to accompany woman all the time, a woman supposed to cover herself entire body in public places and deprived of job opportunities. The ban on woman’s driving does not make any sense. Per the International Labor organization, Saudi woman providing less than 20% of the national workforce. The government statement about the ban on female drivers claim that it is a societal issue. The women of Saudi tried to voice their discomforts in the country. The Human Rights Watch about the informal ban on female driving in Saudi became official state policy in 1990. Saudi is under its poor human rights record. The limits of the gender equality have long been tolerated, but its impact on the woman should not be stay longer. They must have to change their laws against woman to meet their rights and needs. But the Prince of the country is still saying that Saudi is not ready to end the ban on woman’s driving.
I can understand each country has its own laws and rules but these kinds of laws are ridiculous. They don’t have any sense. United Nation should have to encourage Saudi to change their law against women. As Martin Luther King said “Injustice any ware is a threat to justice every ware”. If we believe so then we should have to unite and fight for the justice.
