So if a female performer was to do a live show, and it’s an all-female audience- then that’s alright. However, the GEA noted on Al-Watan newspaper that women aren’t allowed to participate in live shows (even if it’s meant for families)- without a written approval from authorities first.
Anyone who violates these could be subject to legal measures
The GEA added that anyone who violates these restrictions allows the authority to take necessary steps for offenders to be referred to other legal organisations.
