Position of Influence
Sultana al Rowaili, the head of human resources at Rotana, leads a meeting with her male colleagues. Many of the male applicants she interviews never get over the shock of seeing a woman in a position of authority over them. If they can't handle taking orders from a woman, they don't get the job.

Daneh Abuahmed, Rotana's head of information technology, conducts a meeting in her office. With the support and protection of Rotana's royal owner, Prince Alwaleed bin-Talal, female staff work side by side with men and can choose what to wear and whether to cover their heads and faces.

With the support of Prince Alwaleed bin-Talal, the female staff at Rotana, like these receptionists, can dress without covering their head or face. The vast majority of Saudi women don't have anything like that support. There are no laws protecting women from sexual harassment in the workplace, and a woman has to have permission from her husband or father to get a job.
