Saudi women step up against male lingerie shop staff

lingerie - 1 year ago -

It must be embarrassing for Saudi women to go to a lingerie store and looking for maternity lingerie with a male staff in tow, waiting if she needs assistance.

According to reports, a women’s group is intensifying their campaign to influence the government to agree with their calls for replacing male lingerie shop personnel with women in the country so that they’ll be more comfortable when it comes to purchasing maternity lingerie and other intimates.

Fatima Qaroob, a leader of a women’s group, said that they have launched a widespread campaign using the giant networking site Facebook and so far they have been getting significant support on the web. She added that even men agree with their calls for the replacement.

Qaroob said that women sometimes have to endure suggestive remarks from the salesmen and even criticisms about their maternity lingerie choices.
