Women to be allowed to work in lingerie shops
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Women in Saudi Arabia have won the right to work in underwear shops. Some female campaigners had questioned the logic of women in the Islamic country having to buy intimate clothing from male sellers. But religious hardliners who opposed the idea of women working in any retail outlet had blocked the change. So starting on Thursday women will be allowed lingerie sales jobs.
