CONCLUSION
In comparing Saudi Arabia and Tunisia, we see the broadest range of attitudes regarding the treatment of women and their rights in the Islamic world. Tunisia offers legal abortion, divorce and access to IVF, while Saudi Arabia still demands male consent for the simplest procedure.
Abortion and divorce are still unavailable there, and women remain at the mercy of men, even in regard to decision-making about their own bodies, particularly health and reproduction. Genital mutilation and the taking of child brides still occurs, but cautionary precedents are becoming evident.It is worth noting, however, that while the West sees Saudi Arabia as rigidly fundamentalist and archaic in its treatment of women, changes are occurring within the Kingdom, which has until recently been almost devoid of Western influence. Although slow, when compared to the more progressive Tunisia, the general trend is towards liberalism. The Arab Spring, the internet and the emergence of Muslim feminism are all factors contributing to the reforms throughout the Muslim world, and Saudi Arabia cannot help but be affected.
