circuit television meetings between men and women is a violation of women's rights, said Jawhara Al-Anqari, deputy chairperson of the National Society for Human Rights (NSHR) here Wednesday. She was speaking at a symposium on human rights titled “Human Rights: Reality or Innovation” held at King Abdul Aziz University. Al-Jawhara said that throughout Islamic history women had been more inspired by face-to-face social interaction with men. “If it was allowed then, it should be allowed now because there is no difference between men and women during and after the Prophet's times,” she said. The symposium was attended by Hussein Al-Shareef, NSHR chairman. “The existence of a human rights body is not a polictial luxury, rather a driving force for the country to observe the reality of its human rights,” he said in his speech.
