Post 9

Today I was  in Internet and I reaches an article that spoke of machismo in Saudi Arabia and I started to research this country and I found out that Saudi Arabia does not allow women to drive a car. And I learned as a woman, Manal Al Sharif was filmed herself driving and put this video of herself on YouTube, and only by doing this she was imprisoned in 2011, his brother was beaten, and his father, exposed to the public by the religious authorities Muslim hardliners.
Now this woman is released and is a champion of the defense of women's rights in her country.
Despite everything I went through, this woman is still actively working for women in your country be up-to wheel. Something that seems so common our reality and beyond has to fight.
And the worst part of this it is that there is not even exist a law prohibiting women from driving ,  it´s just a sentence imposed by the police religios who refuses to give his license.
And driving is just one of the many constraints faced by women in this country, which is governed by a strict interpretation of Islamic law, and reaches the point that women can not leave the country without a male relative .
That make me so angry and I can not finish the article and my investigation, I wish the thing would be diferents.
