No Woman No Drive

  • Driving Ban, No Woman No Drive, saudi Arabia

I’ve been busy putting together the second issue of Fitnah’s publication Unveiled, which will focus on the burqa and niqab ban.

In the meanwhile though I did want to give a quick heads up to the video “No Woman No Drive” which has gone viral. It’s a spoof by Heesham Fagheeh, a social activist and artist, on the Saudi driving ban.

As I had reported earlier, 26 October was a Day of Defiance against the ban. At least 16 women have been fined for driving on the day and the fight continues.

Defiance indeed!
