Dear MEL
Topic Readers,
Saudi music
video on women’s rights goes viral
In the Middle
Eastern kingdom, women are not allowed to drive a car, show their beauty, or
travel without permission by a male relative. There are number of things that they
can’t do freely that are enjoyed by women in other countries, including sports
and swimming.
It has
been that way for a long long time but things are changing. As the number of young
people, those under 25 years old, accounts over the half of the nation’s
population, there seems to be increasing demand for social and legal changes.
One of
the ways to express such voices is to produce a video and post it on the
Internet. It is quite a cost-efficient but effective way to deliver a message
to the public, and could cause a social uproar. Here is an example of such
videos that went viral.
Enjoy
watching the video and think if it could help spur a movement for a change in
the conservative kingdom.
