Why is Saudi Arabia on a women's rights committee?

In recent years, the Al Saud regime has come under intense pressure by rights groups for mistreating women.

Saudi Arabia is the only country in the world that prohibits women from driving. The ban stems from a religious fatwa imposed by Wahhabi clerics. If women get behind the wheel in the kingdom, they may be arrested, sent to court and even flogged.

Under Saudi law, a woman must have permission from a male family member, normally the father, husband or brother -- in the case of a widow, sometimes her son -- to obtain a passport, marry, travel, exit prison and sometimes work or access health care.

Seriously, what the fuck?

It's bullshit. That's pretty much it.
