Saudi Arabia shuts male-staffed lingerie shops: Paper

RIYADH: The Saudi Arabian labour ministry has ordered the closure of around 100 lingerie shops in the country’s capital for having men on their sales staff, a newspaper said on Sunday.

Al-Eqtisadiah quoted a ministry official as saying all shops which violate a decree on the “feminization and nationalization of jobs” would be shut down. The measure aims to “provide a safe environment for working women,” he said.
