slut walk, page-80

We're lucky to live in a free country. In Saudi, women (including tourists) go to jail for driving a car - only men can drive.

Reasons:

1.Driving a car involves uncovering the face which is considered obligatory for women to cover in Saudi.

2.Driving a car may lead women to go out of the house more often.

3.Driving a car may lead women to have interaction with non-mahram males, for example at traffic accidents.

4.Women driving cars may lead to overcrowding the streets and many young men may be deprived of the opportunity to drive.

5.Driving would be the first step in an erosion of traditional values, such as gender segregation.
