Saudi Arabia - The road to progress?
Print Edition
Saudi women on the kingdom’s top advisory council have called for a discussion on the sensitive issue of allowing women to drive, a move that could embolden reformers pushing to lift the ban.
The official request was made this week to the head of the Shura Council, council member Latifa al-Shaalan said, to address all “excuses” raised to keep women from driving since Islamic law and Saudi traffic laws do not forbid it.
Women seeking the right to drive in Saudi Arabia have been energized by a campaign calling on them to drive on October 26. Saudi law does not explicitly prohibit them from driving, but religious edicts effectively ban it.
