Saudi Arabia's top cleric says women will be 'exposed to evil' if allowed to drive

 

Saudi Arabia's most senior cleric, Grand Mufti Sheikh Abdul Aziz bin-Abdullah al-Sheikh has defended the kingdom's ban on female drivers on the grounds that they will be 'exposed to evil' if allowed to drive. He said men “obsessed with women” and with "weak spirits" could end up causing female drivers harm and that male relatives would not know their whereabouts.

Although women driving in Saudi Arabia is not against the law, in practice women are unable to obtain driving licences.  Exceptions are occasionally made in rural areas if a woman needs to drive for her family life.

Despite stifling conservative norms, the Kingdom has made some progress in women rights, women were allowed to vote for the first time last year.

In February 2015, Saleh al-Saadoon, a conservative historian, sparked an outcry by saying that women in Saudi Arabia should not be allowed to drive on the grounds that they might get raped if their cars broke down.

Western women drove, he explained, because rape was not such a big deal to them.

German photographer shares portraits of women and their children who fled Boko Haram captivity

German photographer, Andy Spyra, who came into Nigeria to follow up a report on Boko Haram activities in Nigeria, took portraits of 15 women who escaped from Boko Haram captivity and also raised funds for them to start up businesses in their community.

Narrating his experience to CNN, Andy said he got into Nigeria in January this year and designed a makeshift studio with black clothes, rags and a small stool where he took these portraits and also have the women narrate their experiences to him.


He said

"We heard stories of dead bodies and mass graves, the others in the forest of people who didn't make it. There were snakes and scorpions, rivers that you had to cross where thousands of women have died in their attempt to flee. These women are really strong and really tough, and how they did it, I don't know. In some cases, they escaped during bombardment of Boko Haram-held villages. Some of them scaled fences. Some of them had smart ideas about saying they were going to the market, and they just ran off".
