Women in Qatar have broken barriers and achieved significant progress, but state-enforced male guardianship rules limit their ability to live full, productive, and independent lives.

Many women spoke to Human Rights Watch for a new report that details how women in Qatar need male guardian permission to marry, obtain a government scholarship to study, work in many government jobs, travel abroad, and access some healthcare.

“Sanaa,” a 31-year-old Qatari woman, said: “To get a scholarship to study abroad you need guardian permission … Even at Qatar University, as a TA [teaching assistant], you need your legal guardian’s permission stating that they don’t mind you going and continuing your studies abroad.”

Qatar should remove male guardianship rules so women can begin to take control of their lives.
