N7nu - We the women

A postgraduate student's thesis on women driving in Saudi Arabia turned into a social media campaign which launched its own online forum in April 2009 to encourage open discussion on the issue.

The "N7nu — We the Women" campaign aims to raise awareness for the issue of women driving in Saudi Arabia and to start a public debate. Women are currently not allowed to drive themselves in the Kingdom. The campaign uses Flickr, Facebook, Google News and YouTube.
