0.00 – 0.045

0.045 – 0.10 This is Malika, she lives in Saudi Arabia. She has a university degree in law.

0.10 – 0.15 Malika said she wants to use her master's degree to teach

0.15 – 0.21 preferably at the college level. She has applied for several jobs, but with no luck.

0.21 – 0.26 So she sits at home, unemployed.

0.26 – 0.32 There are very little jobs for women available, especially for women with a university degree.

0.32 – 0.37 Despite the good education for women, they are still suppressed in Saudi Arabia. They are not permitted to

0.37 – 0.44 mingle with men to whom they are not related. Women need permission from a male relative to travel, get medical care

0.44 – 0.49and receive other basic government services.

0.49 – 0.55 Women are prevented from taking directions

0.55 – 0.59 such as architecture, engineering and journalism.

0.59 – 1.03 The most women work in the education sector.

1.03 – 1.10 The first group of women graduated from a law program in 2008. Women are not able to practice law,

1.10 – 1.18 but the government has indicated that they are able to work in courts to assist female clients. This has still not happened..

1.18 – 1.23 They are caught between a government spending billions to educate and employ them,

1.23 – 1.30 and a deeply conservative religious society that fiercely resists women in the workplace.

1.30 – 1.41Malika says: Teach me, invest in me, let me work. I don’t get it. My friends are all in the same situation. What is wrong here?

1.41 – 1.46 The national economy would be stronger if the women also are able to work.

1.46 – 1.54 Unemployment among Saudi women who want to work is five times as great as the unemployment rate for men.

2.00 – 2.06 Those unemployed women are college-educated.

2.06 – 2.11 Of Saudis receiving unemployment benefits, 86 percent are women

2.11 – 2.17and 40 percent of those women have college degrees.

2.17 – 2.25 In a country where more than two-thirds of the population is younger than 30,

2.25 – 2.27thousands more college-educated women each year try to enter the workforce, and many of them are striking out.

2.27 – 2.36 There are women out there desperate to find jobs.

2.36 – 2.37 Young women are growing increasingly impatient with restrictions on their careers in a country

2.37 – 2.39 that does not permit women to drive

2.39 – 2.44 or vote.

2.44 – 2.50"Women are like pearls," said one Saudi man. "We must protect them."

2.50 – 2.53 Young women are not as isolated as before.

2.53 – 2.55 They realize that they don't have to blindly follow

2.55 – 2.57 what their fathers tell them.

2.57 – 3.00 There is no turning back.

3.01 – 3.03 Women are in the process of modernizing Saudi Arabia

3.03 – 3.05 There needs to be a change.

3.05 -3.08 Because why would they spend such amount of money on the education of women if they do not allow them to use their education?

3.08 – 3.17
