The women in Saudi Arabia they finally can drive
Saudi Arabia announces women will be given right to drive* | Daily Mail Online
In a landmark move Saudi Arabia's King Salman has given women in the Kingdom the right to drive with the royal order set to come into force on June 24 next year.
There has been social change in the country in recent weeks. On Saturday, hundreds of women thronged a sports stadium for the first time to mark Saudi Arabia's national day.
King Salman issued an order easing male guardianship rules this year, allowing women to benefit from government services such as education and healthcare. Previously they needed male consent to access such services.
Saudi Arabias Vision 2030 is aimed at improving the quality of life of its citizens and expatriates through better efficiencies, the adoption of new technology and innovation.
