Do you know Islam or Islamic Societies or have you observed the Palestinian girls who are wear arabic style clothing. Sure they don’t wear bikinis in any crowd filled beach . You can show all the charter but to live in a society in different. Are you from Gaza or Palestine? If you are not then you also have no value in discussing these things. Islamic Societies are different and you must respect their standards and morality. To say Hamas allowing bikini filled beach is totally untrue. Many things in societal level are not defined by law but by inherited societal education and religion.
Other Arab countries like UAE, Tunisia, Egypt, Morocco, Syria and Lebanon are far more permissive in their rules, even in public beaches.
Do you know Islam or Islamic Societies
I must say that non-Arab Muslims sometimes can be far more conservative than the average Arab Muslim. I read of the experiences of Indian-subcontinent Muslims and they are alien to me.
Oh well, I had once a gf from KSA. She was sweet and all but it’s still a female gender apartheid to me. Obviously some changes have been done but still long way to go for publicly wearing bikinis on beaches. Palestinians are far more progressive and liberal to some extent but hey wearing bikinis openly in beaches of Gaza is non truth to me. I am not an islamophobe but yeah I don’t misrepresent arabic culture and their ethos. Maybe you are right in your POV. In which city do you live in?
Saudis used to travel to neighbouring Arab countries (Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq) to party, now we don’t have to. Alcohol is still forbidden though.
Edit: worth mentioning, 60% of Saudis are under the age of 35. [or maybe it was 65% under the age of 30]. Either way, it is a young country.
Western critics often compare the treatment of Saudi women to a system of apartheid, analogous with South Africa’s treatment of non-whites during South Africa’s apartheid era. As evidence, they cite restrictions on travel, fields of study, choice of profession, access to the courts, and political speech.[322][323][324] Mona Eltahawy, a columnist for The New York Times wrote, “Saudi women are denied many of the same rights that ‘Blacks’ and ‘Coloreds’ were denied in apartheid South Africa and yet the Kingdom still belongs to the very same international community that kicked Pretoria out of its club.”[292]
Some commentators have argued that Saudi gender policies constitute a crime against humanity and warrant intervention from the international community. They criticize the U.S. government for decrying the Taliban’s sexist policies while allied to Saudi Arabia. Mary Kaldor views gender apartheid in Saudi Arabia as similar to that enforced by the Taliban in Afghanistan.[325] In contrast, political commentator Daniel Pipes sees Saudi gender apartheid as tempered by other practices, such as allowing women to attend school and work.[101
great now you have to disregard abaya and mandatory veil as well as male companionship where ever you go. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSO9e7Q7EI8 . Seriously KSA is the epitome for women’s rights and all those amnesty thing is just conspiracy against the great king of Saud.

I’m from Saudi Arabia :) I know how things can appear outwardly and how they really are.
Nothing preventing the existence of private beaches and resorts that permit them, Saudi Arabia has them. https://youtu.be/J9rx0t-hR0U https://youtu.be/XGfle0cdHmc

Jeddah on the Red Sea. Your view is outdated and limited. I recommend you visit Saudi Arabia and see for yourself.

https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/research/2022/12/saudi-arabia-codifies-male-guardianship-and-gender-discrimination/ Is this report false too ?
https://www.justsecurity.org/61442/misogynist-apartheid-saudi-arabias-original-human-rights-sin/
Yes, this report contradicts reality. Women had gained more freedoms and independence not less.
This is just a joke at this point.
thanks for concluding that Amnesty report about Gaza is rigged by leftists 😂 , Israel is right Gazans have more freedom…
I was talking about Saudi Arabia. You aren’t arguing in good faith.
Women in Saudi Arabia have access to the same education, healthcare, social services and so on as their male counterparts.
A few things to add, since I am not going to engage with you anymore after this:
“Greater abortion access in Saudi Arabia than in over ten US states after Roe v Wade repeal” https://www.newarab.com/news/greater-abortion-access-saudi-arabia-us-states
This Wikipedia article has some statistics and laws that could be informative https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women's_rights_in_Saudi_Arabia
