Background

Last September, Saudi Arabia surprised everyone by lifting the Women Driving ban, a historic ruling that will take effect by June 2018. But while the rest of the world celebrated the decision, a big chunk of the Saudi male population showed resistance to it. This has made many Saudi women hesitant about applying for a licence when the time comes, fearing their closest male relatives will disapprove. They were in need of confidence and support.
