transformed into st. decorations for their neighborhood. when you look at the outside of the school. yeah, they did. which contains a lot of plastic voters. and we see that we can make use of these

with higher treated in the workplace. you know, women in business where a minority, even in sports like it's, it's very new to saudi, but universally, it's been a difficult thing. but the obstacles to progress, she says, are not only from the men. because some of the women like because they didn't do it in their generation, they feel like they shouldn't teach their daughters to do the same thing.
