It is quite unbelievable that women in Saudi Arabia are not allowed to drive! Driving licences are only issued to male drivers and women who drive are being arrested. The fatwa forbidding women to drive was issued in 1990 and is part of the misogyny that women there endure on a daily basis.
But the women of Saudi Arabia are standing up to claim their rights. The Women2Drive campaign is calling for Saudi women to come out and drive on Friday, 17 June in defiance of the ban.
Iran Solidarity is supporting all those women who will be out driving for their rights on Friday. We are joining in the call to support the women of Saudi Arabia . The issue of course is not the driving, but the misogyny that lies behind it.
For everyone outside of Saudi Arabia , you can do your bit to support Saudi women.
If you are driving on Friday, honk your horn in support, take a pic of yourself or your friends and colleagues in their cars or on their bicycles! The Facebook page of the campaign is here and here.
For all drivers and non-drivers who like to express their solidarity with Saudi women, below is a list of Saudi Arabia ’s embassies around the world.
Drop them a line, give them a call, with the very clear and simple message:
I support the right of women inSaudi Arabia to drive!
I support the right of women in
Let us know how you get along!
We wish the women in Saudi Arabia a succesful and safe campaign!
