RIYADH: Women campaigning for the abolishment of a rule stipulating they name a legal guardian every time they apply for a job say their patience with the Ministry of Labor is running thin because the government department has not responded to their initial demand.
They said they wrote to the ministry a month ago and are now preparing to take their campaign to the very top.
“We requested that the ministry only confirms they have received our demands,” said campaign spokesperson Alia Banaja, adding that a two-week deadline given to the ministry is over and the campaign would contact either Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah or Crown Prince Naif.
