Inside the
world there exist diverse cultures that have aspects jointly and others in
those who are very different. One of the most radical differences that are
considered nowadays is the discrimination between generes, especially to the
women. One of the countries with more restrictions towards the women is Saudi
Arabia, Islamic; where in his policies, for example, one prohibits to the women
to lead vehicles, which has caused the world to have a vision of this country
as "a territory not free ".
There is
understood then that if a woman leads a vehicle in this country, this one will
be punished by the law and will be imprisoned. It happened that in the year
2011 there began a so called campaign "Women 2 Drive" across the
social networks, in which there took part a woman called Manal al Sharif, of 32
years. She on May 21 together with his brother, it recorded a video where she
appears driving a vehicle, video that later was spread by the social networks.
From this they stopped it then left her at liberty, and the following day they
return to arrest her but they imprisoned this time for 9 days. The video was
seen by thousands of persons in a little time, causing the indignation of some
and the admiration of others.
In my
opinion, she was a very brave woman, who risked his freedom and even his life
on having demonstrated in opposition to a fact that it is unacceptable. The
human beings, both men and women, must have the same rights, it cannot be that
in a country is discriminated of such a form, not that a religion imposes laws
that commit an outrage against any type of kind, managing to raise even death
sentences.
