I don't see why Saudi Govt should be blamed for that.

HG, please read this Amnesty International report entitled:

"SAUDI ARABIA: GROSS HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES AGAINST WOMEN"

web.amnesty.org\SAUDI+ARABIA

The problem is systemic -- there are big holes in the legal system.

"Domestic workers are excluded from the protections afforded to other workers by the Labour Code.42 ...They are often locked in the homes of their employers, and their isolation (they may be the only domestic worker in a particular household) makes them even more vulnerable to assaults which will not be witnessed by anyone outside the family of their employers."
