Support Women's Right to Drive in Saudi Arabia, Condemn Lashings Sentenced to Woman for Driving to Hospital

Created by T.C. on September 27, 2011

Saudi Arabia, one of the longest standing US allies in the Middle East, is the only country in the world where women are not allowed to drive.

A Saudi woman was hemorrhaging alone, with no other form of transportation. So she drove herself to the hospital.

Because of her potentially life-saving actions, she was sentenced to 10 lashings.

Ironically, Saudi oil fuels women drivers here. Condemn this action and encourage our trading partner to let women drive in Saudi Arabia.
