Saudi Student Tackles Ban on Women Drivers

Using a Facebook campaign, Flickr stream and DIY stickers, a 24 year old Saudi Arabian woman is raising public debate about the ban on women drivers in her country. Areej Khan, student at SVA in New York, is getting Saudis to express themselves creatively and tackle the topic of women driving, and thereby sparking conversations about Westernization and modernization... All with a little sticker and a little Facebook! She is getting enough support at home that she felt brave enough to use her full name.

"We the Women is a campaign that aims to raise the issue of women driving in Saudi Arabia and to start a real, public conversation. The We the Women declaration bubbles and bumper stickers were created as a space for self expression. Feel free to fill it out with your opinion on the issue and stick it wherever you feel it needs to be."
