Bibliografía

En una decisión sin precedentes, un grupo de científicos de Arabia Saudita ha llegado a la conclusión de que las mujeres finalmente sí son mamíferos. Otorgándoles los mismos derechos que las demás especies de mamíferos, como los camellos, los dromedarios y hasta cabras.

El veredicto, es considerado "histórico" ​​por algunos expertos y grupos de defensa de los derechos de la mujer, reportó World News Daily Report.

"Este es un gran paso adelante para los derechos de la mujer en Arabia Saudita", concluye Jane Austin, portavoz de la Red de Acción de Liberación de la Mujer. "Puede parecer demasiado poco, demasiado tarde, pero se trata de todo un evento para todas las mujeres en la región", dice ella, visiblemente emocionada. "A partir de ahora, las mujeres serán consideradas como miembros de la clase de los mamíferos, mientras que antes las mujeres compartían la situación jurídica de un objeto, similar al de un electrodoméstico", admite.

El veredicto reciente podría alterar completamente todas las leyes aplicadas actualmente en Arabia Saudita cree Jillian Birch, portavoz de Amnistía Internacional
