“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.
