Saudi women in drivers’ seats

Newly-licensed Saudi woman driver, sits in her car during a test-drive in the coastal Red Sea city of Jeddah on June 23, 2018, a day before the lifting of a ban on women driving in the conservative Arab kingdom. Saudi Arabia will allow women to drive from June 24, ending the world’s only ban on female motorists, a historic reform marred by what rights groups call an expanding crackdown on activists.
