United States

Easier access to schooling

Facilities are high tech and well funded

Women are encouraged to get an education

Middle East

Lives are threatened

Not well funded Facilities lack

teaching supplies

Saudi women and children suffer the most in social and economic positions.

American children have freedom to be educated.

American Homes usually have one main entrance for every person, regardless of their sex.

Homes in Saudi Arabia have separate entrances and visitor rooms for men and women. Garage entrances and a door which leads to the family room. With many gates leading into one home.

Women have freedom in choosing who they want to marry.

Saudi women have arranged marriages.

The clothing must cover their body from head to toe.

If a Saudi woman tries to get away from her arranged marriage there are consequences. Such as brutal beatings or lashes until the girl surrenders.

United States

Job range is bigger Allowed to work

along side men.

Middle East

Limited job selection

only CERTAIN areas tolerate women working with men
