HOW MANY?

WHY?
The Saudi authorities are currently experiencing a propaganda frenzy to whitewash their image through marketing campaigns or the organization of macro-events. This attitude towards the exterior tries to show a modern and reformed country, but in Saudi prisons there are women sentenced precisely for demanding rights such as, for example, the right to drive.
Women activists who defend equality must be immediately and unconditionally released and all charges against them dropped. They are the true reformists of a country that offers an open face to the outside and that at the same time denies fundamental rights to its women and forces them to live under the male guardianship system, a system that does not allow them to marry, study or work without the authorization of a male relative and who treats them as second-class citizens.
