Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
"i wish they had taken her phone instead of her passport" that is how SA looks at this...
If anyone hasn't, go watch the breadwinner (note the movie is based in Afghanistan, not Saudi) on Netflix, its a really good movie and shows a lot of the shit these women have to go through under these oppressive regimes, its honestly sickening how women get beaten half to death just for being outside without their husband or the fact that women as young as 13 are to become child brides.
edit: Iraq to Afghanistan
It makes sense because Saudi Arabia is still living in 1440
Grateful to live somewhere women are free to make their own decisions.
I really ashame of how my country's junta can shiftly lock up Arabs who are fleeing from their abusive country but can't do shit against crimnals with obvious evidences in Thailand.
I live in Australia and this is fucking shameful how these women are being treated. At one point they said the border agents were asking why they weren't with a guardian then sending them back.
What they should be doing is if they aren't with a male guardian, asking if they want to apply for asylum.
These fucks don't even realise that they are possibly signing their death certificate.
Suadi Arabia is the real shit hole country.
How can a country like Saudi Arabia even exist still. It’s like they’re stuck in the 1800’s. And why do so many men that live there do nothing to help these women? This dangerous and just disgusting Saudi dictatorship needs to be overthrown fast. Not only are they a severe threat to their own people but to the world at large. The 28 pages report that was recently made public has proven that they funded the terrorists that did 9/11. Anyway, great and informative doc. thanks for the share :)
I dated a Saudi girl FOB. Everything that was said in this video all makes sense now.
She literally talked about all of the time how she can never go back because they would kill her.
Edit: Spelling and also adding that she hated being around other arabs because she always thought they were going to snitch on her. In the back of my mind, you are thousands of miles away from home... nothing is going to happen. I learned that all arabs know each other through a mutual cousin, aunt, uncle, etc.
