IKEA goes halal
Swedish furniture company Ikea has said it regrets that images of women are missing from the Saudi version of its catalogue. Women are clearly present in corresponding images in the firm’s English-language catalogue. The firm said “excluding women from the Saudi Arabian version of the catalogue is in conflict with the Ikea Group values”. It attributed the gaffe to the fact its Saudi operation is run by a franchisee. Several images in the catalogue, published on Ikea’s Saudi website, show women completely absent in a number of promotional scenes. The same images in other versions of the catalogue include women.

Auf die Enthüllung folgt postwendend die Entschuldigung: Aus der saudi-arabischen Version des neuen Ikea-Katalogs sind Frauenbilder einfach wegretuschiert worden. Das soll nicht wieder vorkommen, versicherte die schwedische Möbelkette nach peinlichen Vergleichsbildern in den Medien. http://www.rp-online.de/panorama/ausland/ikea-loescht-frauenbilder-aus-katalog-1.3015891
