How about equal rights for women too?
Nigerian Muslim women chased from Meca: they need men to travel

• Saudi Arabia on Friday began expelling more than a thousand Nigerian women on religious pilgrimage to the country because they had arrived without male guardians, the first time it sent back such a large group in enforcement of strict rules governing women.

The government ministry that oversees the hajj pilgrimage said the 1,100 women had violated a long-standing law by travelling without an immediate male relative, adding that females of all nationalities who are younger than 45 must have a male guardian during the hajj pilgrimage.
