Princess Reem Al Faisal: Saudi women enjoy better status
Royal refutes the view that women are oppressed in Saudi Arabia
Dubai: In the past five decades Saudi Arabia has taken huge leaps in development unlike the perceptions of many outside that progress in the conservative country is at a turtle’s pace, said a Saudi princess.
Princess Reem Al Faisal told Gulf News that any development should not come in response to foreign calls, but rather to fulfill the aspirations of Saudi people.
“Saudi Arabia is in a continuous change. The problem is that people don’t see things moving, but actually the country is in a non-stop revolutions, socially and economic.”
“We are neither devils nor angels… We are like any other society. But there is no objective analysis [to situation in Saudi], and there are exaggerations from all sides. I have never met anybody who talks about Saudi Arabia without emotions. Either he or she loves it or hates it, and both are wrong.”
