Women will not be allowed to work as mechanics or take other jobs related to this field in Saudi Arabia.
“Women are banned from taking mechanical jobs among other professions”, said the official spokesman of the Labour and Social Development Ministry Khalid Al-Khail, reported Watan
He did not say, however, whether the ban would be lifted in the future, and open this sector to women.
The Ministry of Municipal and Rural Affairs said that a plan would be discussed to provide the “adequate” environment for women to work in mechanical workshops, car showrooms, car rentals, accessories and spare parts and insurance companies.
Meanwhile, a decades-long ban forbidding women’s driving will be officially lifted on Sunday (June 24).
