Should Women Drive in Saudi Arabia?

As most people know, Saudi Arabia is one of the most conservative countries in the world, and it is the only country that prevents women from driving. However, as the group of activists started the event "Driving on 26th October", the situation is changing. Basically, this activity encourages all women driving on the bus on 26th October. The campaign caused a discussion on whether women should drive in Saudi Arabia. Anyone raised in the west will ask why they do not drive.

For unknown reasons, women are not allowed to drive in Saudi Arabia. Some people try to blame religion, but it is like social and cultural issues, so it is irrelevant to religion. But the situation is changing and Saudi Arabia and people all over the world are more open. Now women in Saudi Arabia can receive free education, work, start their own business, become leaders, participate in politics. But the wait has ended. From June next year, women in Saudi Arabia will eventually have the right to drive a car.

If you decide to settle in Saudi Arabia, you will need to find a way to travel. Until recently Saudi Arabia was the only country not permitting women to drive, but as of June 2018 the law allowed women to drive in the kingdom. For women living and working in Saudi Arabia this may make things easier. Saudi Arabia has a lot of taxes. From point A to point B, thousands of taxis are available in all major cities. Unlike most other taxi services, Saudi Arabian taxis are owned and owned but are registered with regulatory companies. They are very safe and all taxis are equipped with fare meters. To ensure quality and compliance, you can also find driver numbers and photos for each taxi.

Saudi Arabian women and girls face severe discrimination in law and practice. Prohibition of driving is just one example of many living areas in Saudi Arabia where women are deprived of human rights. Women can not participate in marriage, travel, paid labor, or higher education without the permission of male guardians. In 2013, female rights activists launched a similar initiative to overturn the ban on 26th October 2013. One activist, Loujain al-Hathloul, announced the start of the event with a video officially posted online. Immediately after the announcement, several women activists were repeatedly intimidated by the authorities, and they were forced to stop their campaign campaign. On 24th October, the Ministry of the Interior announced that it will react "firmly and strongly" if this event is carried out, and the website of the event was hacked on 25th October.
