The social media is currently awash with worldwide reactions to the news that broke on Tuesday, September 26, that women in Saudi Arabia would now be allowed to drive for the first time ever.
Many are of the belief that the decision of the Saudi Arabian government to lift the archaic ban is a move in the right direction for a country with strict conservative law.
From June 2018, women would be allowed to be behind the steering wheels.

Obviously women should have the right to drive, but the tone toward Saudi Arabia is condescending instead of celebratory.

Saudi Arabia allowing women to drive should be celebrated, but also ridiculed at how far behind this country is. Much more progress needed

Saudi Arabia allowing women to drive soon. Was the ban stupidity or protection of women?

Let’s not give Saudi Arabia a cookie for *allowing* women to drive. It’s an archaic culture that still treats women like property
