Saudi Arabia is considering hefty fines and jail sentences of up to five years for sexual harassment.
Proposals to tighten punishment for unwanted sexual advances follow a surge in the harassment of women at workplaces, streets and shopping malls, says Arab News.
These proposals are included in a bill that is being considered by the Social Affairs Committee of the Shura Council.
"The law aims at protecting honour and prestige and preventing all types of harassment," Arab News quoted one Shura official as saying. Another way of achieving the same is creating "women-only" workplaces and areas, political analyst Badr al-Muntawa told the website. He pointed to Kingdom Tower in Riyadh and Princess Nora University as examples of such segregation.
Harassment concerns are one reason why women are banned from driving in Saudi Arabia, while the government is considering building separate sections in stadiums for female spectators for similar reasons.

Well this has got me thinking laterally.
Could be a great way of protection against such as "Ebola" and "Influenza" etc (well at least for women)! |

It is a massive step forward in Saudi society as the usual response is to blame women for tempting the man. We see the same approach in Rotherham,Rochdale and most towns with Asian communities,it is always the women who are sluts unless they are covered up like above.The rebels in Saudi society occasionally go out with only suspenders and stockings underneath their black cloaks !
