A year after Saudi Arabia granted women the right to drive, many hurdles remain:
this spring, saying that silence would not keep her sister safe.
At the same time, Saudi officials say they have issued tens of thousands of driver’s licenses to women, according to the Times. Driving schools for Saudi women have emerged, and car manufacturers have created ad campaigns aimed at Saudi women. Some of the jailed activists were campaigning against Saudi Arabia’s guardianship laws. Under the system, a girl’s father is her legal guardian. Once she marries, her husband becomes her guardian. If her husband dies, her son or another male family member becomes her guardian. Women who go against the wishes of their guardian can be arrested for disobedience.
