In most countries being able to drive is a fundamental right, afforded to anyone that is of legal age. However, this is not the case in Saudi Arabia. In this ultraconservative Islamic nation, women are not allowed to do many things that females worldwide take for granted, including getting behind the wheel. Though there is no official law in place, local authorities consistently turn down license requests from women, effectively resulting in a defacto ban. Those who defy the unwritten rule often end up losing their jobs and even risk getting arrested and jailed.

              women work as hard as men so it really wasn't fair for women not to drive.

                It’s great! Women can finally drive! Women like us work hard to get our freedom, we finally did it. Good job! Women: 5 Men: 5 We’re tied!

                    I think that you are all right. Women should have equal rights!
