IKEA criticised for airbrushing women out of Saudi catalogue...

Ikea, the Swedish furniture retailer, has been criticised for deleting images of women from the Saudi version of its catalogue.

Comparing the Swedish and Saudi versions of the Ikea catalogue, Sweden's free newspaper Metro on Monday showed that women had been airbrushed out of otherwise identical pictures showcasing the company's home furnishings.

The report raised questions in Sweden about Ikea's commitment to gender equality.

 The country's trade minister Ewa Bjorling did not criticise Ikea directly but told Metro that you can't delete women from society. Full story...
