RE: Saudi Arabian women can take off hijab. / Saudi-arabische Frauen können Hijab ablegen.
Although Aceh adopts Sharia but men and women are equally can go to work, drive and sit together in a forum. Although i'm a muslim, but to live in Saudi Arabia with those strict rules would be so hard even to express our creativity and self confidence. I'm happy to hear if now women can drive there, taking their kidsto school or maybe have right to go to the place they want when need some time for themselves.
We are grateful to live in Aceh because of gender equality. Even in Aceh women can be leaders and history records some queens once led the country of Aceh.
Still many things are forbidden ... But there are some steps towards more freedom.
I think women should be able to decide themselves if they prefer to live a traditional, conservative life, a 'western style' life or a mix between both ...
