A Saudi woman who dared to drive
Good
question and excellent the way Manal al- Sharif told her story, a
story of struggle lived among many women who decided to end the
religious tradition , in my opinion many of the traditions become a
terrible reality that presses from the same root conception of minds
to some sectors of the community, gender differences , different skin
colors , different sexual orientations , being physically different ,
to be different psychologically , we create names, concepts for
chaining everybody's freedom being that the only people able to hold
us are actually ourselves, this last sentence is for me is a truth,
but still within an oppressive and restrictive environment the
fighting with feelings and mind (not necessarily violent ) is much
more difficult . We are not all equal, we are similar , and as time
goes on we become less homogeneous because individual freedoms are
the key to collective freedom .
This
video is a good example of how schemes were broken in an oppressive
society, told from the experience of a woman in Saudi Arabia which
was imprisoned for driving a car in your country. 3 years ago Manal
al- Sharif , told that in her country the women can't handle,
first
it was a custom but then this custom turned a tradition instituted in
religious faith .
She
drove twice with his brother, he
was sent to detention for one day, and she was sent to jail,
9 days after she was released because there is no law banning women
to drive in Saudi Arabia. Many expressions of support erupted in
other countries but in his own country is lived differently,
threatened to kill her, she didn't give up and calles on June 7 for
all asitieran driving, 100 brave women attended that day.
