Religious Police Ban Women From Starbucks in Saudi Arabia

Women in Saudi Arabia recently found themselves banned from entering a Starbucks location by religious police after a "gender wall," a wooden barrier separating men and women inside the store, collapsed due to customer traffic. A sign on the door read, "On order by the Commission, please no women allowed in. Women can send in their drivers to buy for them." In Saudi Arabia, gender walls are required for all restaurants and public shops. Although women just recently won the right to vote and be elected into office, women are still not permitted to travel without a chaperon, drive, or enter cemeteries.

Rose & Willard will now require models to sign contracts stipulating that they will eat during shows and photoshoots, essentially legally assuring the company that they will not starve themselves for the sake of fashion.
