Saudi women: "We will drive"
- Saudi Arabia: Thursday, January 03 - 2008 at 09:21
Saudi women activists began a fresh effort to get a ban on women drivers lifted in 2008, handing in a new petition to King Abdullah urging him to end the restriction, reported AFP. Signatories of the petition "hope that 2008 will be the year in which Saudi women obtain their natural right to drive a car," according to the document. The petition follows a similar one sent to the king last September signed by more than 1,100 Saudis. Women in the Kingdom cannot travel without the written permission of their male guardian, who could be the woman's grandfather, father, uncle, husband, son or brother.
