“Manal al Sharif: a Saudi woman who dared to drive”

in the video Manal explain how she achieve to change the law that allows to drive a woman in Saudi Arabian.

Women in Saudi arabia are not supposed to drive cars, but there is no law banning women from diving, it is a custom and tradition of the predominant religous ultra –conservative in this country that imposed on women because they think that they are inferior.
Manal thing that this is not a free country if the woman haven’t the same custom and tradition like the man, and beacuse of that she desided to drived a car of his brother.
She was punishemnt for do this because woman can’t drive by the religouse rules, but no because the law ( don’t exist this law).

Her son was hit in the school by his classmates, and say that he and his mother must be in jail. Manal think that this thoughts were influenced by the adult round them. And this is a result of the opressive societies.
Because of that she fight for free roles and equality societies.
She sent a petition to the shura council

The most difficult with his action was to change the mind of the people who things that the women in Saudi Arabian aren’t the same that the man. More than to change the law of the country.
In the begin most people thing that she was a traitor and most people thing that she might be  punishment for daring to challenge the society’s rules
 but with the tecnologhy (twitter, Facebook) slowly the person start to joim forces to this action and it began to gain strength. And finaly she sent a petition to the shura council and they desided to permit women to drive.


It because of that when she ask what is worst: opressive societies or opressive goverment, i thing that is worst opressive societies.
