The right to drive: Saudi Arabia the only country in which women are not allowed to drive.

Saudi Arabia is still the only country in which women are not allowed to drive. Additionally; women must have permission from male relatives to travel, must be accompanied by them when out in public, and face severe limitations on their abilities to work. Saudi Women for Driving suggests that the worldwide support of social platforms like Change.org was extremely crucial to the progress they have made. Now a new petition has started and is calling on King Abdullah to remove the biggest barrier to women's full participation in Saudi life by lifting the ban on women driving.
