Activist Loujain al-Hathloul, who was jailed in 2014 for driving, told the Post that her concern with meetings like the one on Sunday “is that they show these women as powerful and making an impact, making a change. But in real life, they’ve been given these opportunities by the men. They did not fight for them.”.
During the presidential campaign, Donald Trump attacked Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton for her work with the nonprofit Clinton Foundation, which raises funds for projects including entrepreneurship programs and efforts to fight HIV and AIDS.
Saudi Arabia bans women from driving and requires them to get permission from a male guardian to travel, marry and exit prison. Women “may be required to provide guardian consent in order to work or access healthcare,” according to the organization Human Rights Watch.
Recently, First Daughter Ivanka Trump and First Lady Melania Trump took a visit to the Tuwaiq Palace in Saudi Arabia to propose an idea for a women’s empowerment fund. Since then, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates announced, at the World Bank Women Entrepreneurs Fund, that they are donating $100 million to help women in the Middle East. The money will work to improve the status of women in the Middle East by helping them start their own businesses.
Saudi Arabia’s unfair laws against women are still enforced, the most notable law prohibiting women from driving. Women also have relatively no autonomy and are given male guardians, typically a husband, brother, or son, to make decisions for them. Permission is required to go to school and work, travel, buy property, etc.
Evan Vucci/AP. Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates will donate a combined $100 million to a World Bank fund for women entrepreneurs that was the brainchild of Ivanka Trump.
The UAE's U.S. ambassador, Yousef Al Otaiba, said in a statement that the promised donation reflects "our commitment to empowering women in our region and builds on the progress we have made in our country, where women play a role in every segment of society.".
Norm Eisen, former ethics official for the Obama Administration and a regular critic of the Trump family's conflicts of interest, noted in an email to NPR, "In my view foreign government donations to a fund run by a reputable international organization like the World Bank for a good cause are generally acceptable.".
