Saudi Arabia on October 26, 2013

So I came across this website during one of my browsing, and I think it's going to be a really exciting event. If they do actually create some sort of pressure on the parliament to seriously address the issue of women driving in Saudi, then this event could actually be successful. Not to be naive but women have tried to stir public attention in the past and it didn't necessarily go very well. There is an argument that Saudi women don't really want to drive ignoring the large numbers that actually do. However, if the ban on women driving were to be lifted, women who want to drive can whereas the latter can simply choose not to. In this sense, no one will be forced to do what they don't want to do.

Good luck to the women over there.

For those interested, I found this link after I stumbled across this blog: Saudi Women Driving
