Countdown to Women's Rights: Why Robot Sophia Gets Citizenship in Saudi Arabia

[Netease smart news November 2 news] a robot named Sophia recently obtained a citizenship in Saudi Arabia, there are Internet rumors, Sophia will have more rights than women in the country.

Because of this, Saudi Arabia became the first country in the world to grant robotic citizenship. On October 25th, in the "Future Investment Initiative Forum" held in Riyadh, humanoid robot Sophia acquired Saudi nationality.

Sophia is a humanoid robot developed by Hanson Robotics, headquartered in Hong Kong, China. It is not yet clear whether she will have the same or more rights as Saudis. It can appear alone on the stage without the male guardian's permission, and it does not need to cover its own head and body.

Many Twitter users responded quickly. They pointed out that strictly speaking, Sofia has more rights than Saudi women. A woman wrote on Twitter: “Sophia, the first robot to acquire citizenship in Saudi Arabia, has more rights than the Saudi woman there. Is it strange to others?”

Another user wrote: "I would like to know if Sophia Robot can leave Saudi Arabia without the consent of her guardian!" Because she officially became a Saudi.

If you are not familiar with men's guardianship in Middle Eastern countries, allow us to explain it first. According to this system, every woman must have a male guardian, husband or relative, and he has the right to make a series of important decisions on her behalf. Women must obtain the approval of the guardian before they can get married, apply for a passport, travel abroad, and receive government scholarships to study abroad.

During the demonstration, the robot said: "I feel very honored and proud of this unique honor. I was the first robot in history to acquire citizenship."

In the Global Gender Gap Report published by the World Economic Forum in 2015, Saudi Arabia ranks the world’s tenth lowest in terms of civil liberties and political rights.

Last month, Saudi Arabia stated that it would allow women to hold a driver’s license, which is the latest measure taken by Saudi Crown Prince’s long-term reform. Considering that Saudi Arabia lags far behind in terms of women’s rights, the introduction of Sophia’s citizenship has caused people’s strong controversy, but it will also help Saudi Crown Princes improve their rights.
