Saudi campaigners protest over the right to drive

On April 4, 2017, the BBC and the Independent in the UK have posted stories about an on-line protest by Saudi women about the driving ban. Women are filming themselves walking and riding bicycles in silent protest of the law. Note from blogger: this is an important action as it shows women recording their presence in public places, which is part of the issue that the opponents have regarding allowing women to drive. Reclaiming their public space is key in changing this law.

Women campaigners in Saudi Arabia are filming themselves walking silently in the street in an attempt to claim the right to drive.

The online campaign is a protest against restrictions, which prevent women from doing everyday things unless they are in the presence of a male guardian.
