Wed, 11 Jan 2012 15:10:02 +0100 (Reuters) - A Saudi saleswoman works in a boutique at a mall in Jeddah January 9, 2012. In a country where women are banned from driving and need the permission of a close male relative to work, travel and even have certain kinds of surgery, female employment is another battleground between traditionalists and those who want change. Women account for only 7 percent of Saudis employed by private companies but make up almost half of all Saudis listed as looking for work, according to 2009 government figures.
