Saudi Arabia's Government Apologizes After Calling Feminism as Extremism
News24xx.com - The Saudi Arabian government through its Security Agency apologized after uploading videos on social media that put feminism as a form of extremism. They stated that this was a mistake.
Until now, as reported by the BBC, (13 November 2019) the Saudi Arabian government is still conducting an investigation related to video uploads on social media.
Previously, the video was uploaded by the Presidential Security Agency on a social media account, Twitter.
This Security Agency takes full responsibility for Raja Salman.
The Commission on Human Rights, Saudi Arabia, commented on this issue. They commented that feminism is not a crime.
However, according to the BBC, they did not address the issue of homosexuality or atheism. The uploaded video stems from Saudi Arabia's efforts to eliminate the country's image that is not friendly to women.
The Amnesty International organization also condemned the video uploaded by the Saudi Arabian government body.
Through Amnesty International's Director for the Middle East and North Africa region, Heba Morayef, stated that the message conveyed by the video was very dangerous.
"[The message] has a huge impact on freedom of speech, on life, freedom and security in the country," said Heba Morayef.
Previously, Saudi Arabia has announced a new policy in the field of tourism by allowing unmarried foreign tourists to stay in one hotel room.
The announcement is part of the reforms contained in the 2030 Saudi Vision initiated by the Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS).
In addition to allowing unmarried tourists to stay in one room or issue tourist visas for the first time, Saudi Arabia is also making reforms for women.
Thus, there are three policies that provide concessions for women.
Quoted from Kompas.com Monday (14 October 2019), here are the three latest policies of Saudi Arabia:
1. Revocation of Driving Prohibition for Women
2. Women May Watch at the Football Stadium
3. Changes in the Trusteeship System
