According to the publication The Local, IKEA, known furniture manufacturer from Sweden, has decided to remove all photos of women recently released from a handout released to the market in Saudi Arabia.

Most of the catalogs in question are similar to each other, with the exception of those targeted at the average consumer in Saudi Arabia. In such catalogs, according to the newspaper, photos of all women, placed by the publishing house, will be retouched. For example, if we open the IKEA catalog issued for the Swedish market, on one of the pages we will see a mother with a child, and on the same page of an identical catalog for Saudi Arabian consumers, the child will already be depicted alone.
