Manama: Women legal consultants in Saudi Arabia have called for the implementation of the decision to grant women licences to practice as lawyers.
“We are looking forward to putting the decision into practice,” Hanan Ahmad Al Sahrfi, a legal consultant, said. “There are around 300 women lawyers in the eastern province who are ready to start and to open offices as lawyers. I personally have submitted my papers to the justice ministry for an official licence and I am full of hope,” she said, quoted by Arabic daily Al Yawm.
