"Mr President, I have been watching a great new TV show based on Margaret Atwood’s novel ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’. Women are forced to do domestic chores, wear complete cover-up clothing, head dresses that act like blinkers on a horse; they cannot travel, drive, shop or even eat and drink without a man’s permission. They are entirely the property of men, with no legal identity of their own. The programme is described by its producers as ‘set in a dystopian future, a woman is forced to live as a concubine under a fundamentalist theocratic dictatorship’. We are all horrified! Can we imagine a path whereby our world could come to this? Well, no, this is fiction, right? It is not, because almost exactly these conditions exist in modern Saudi Arabia. This is not a country that we should be listening to on the UN Commission on the Status of Women. This is a country that we should be condemning, and we should condemn this appointment in the strongest possible terms."@en1
