RIYADH: Continuing their attempts to get their rights, Saudi women seek to obtain their IDs in a bid to feel more independent of their guardians and move freely in society, notably in the context of the Vision 2030.
Saudi women, however, still lack proper information on how to get IDs as they encounter problems in male-dominated government offices, an expert said.
Najlaa M., the head of Women’s Training Department at the Ministry of Interior, said following the new law, which allows women to have their own IDs, the department has faced great pressure and many problems due to women’s unawareness of the rules and procedures.
This, in turn, has led to delays and an increase in waiting time and repeated visits to offices which consumes a great deal of time and effort, she said.
Najlaa stressed that an awareness campaign would be very useful and effective as it would help all citizens, especially young women, to understand the procedures fully and, in the end, increase productivity.
Jawhara, an employee, said that such awareness campaigns would be very helpful for women as they are not always able to access information about the necessary procedures.
Many women know very little about the procedures and some get angry and feel the employees are intentionally delaying them, she said.
Nagwa Mousa, a quality expert, said that the proposed awareness campaign would enforce the positive role of quality as it would focus on solving the problems before they occur which is after all the aim of quality.
