Unfortunately, gender segregation & co-ed is the hot topic now. Not only in Saudi, but in Qatar also. SALAFIS are issuing fatwa after the other scaring people of gender mixing on the workplace & education institutes
Off course this all started , with King abdulla decree that KAUST is a co-ed university. Since then it’s a word war between the salafis & the liberals.
The sad thing, it started to affect locals here. Local internet forums & newspaper Columns are full of anti-gender mixing, posting the thread after the other about the risks of gender mixing with justification that sexual harassment in the workplace & teen pregnancy in western countries are all the result of gender mixing!!!
In addition to the “local favorite conspiracy theory of all time” that gendar mixing is RAND Corporation plot to destroy the Qatari youth!!!
