Thank you Yasmin for inviting such amazing person to tell her story. Very sad story what she had to go through. Yes I agree 100 percent man and women equal.
Thank you so much for your bravery Elise. Thank you Yasmine for your hard work, we need these kind of storys out there and as much exposure as possible. You are all heroes for being willing to share your experiences. Much love ❤
Elise is so brave and well-spoken and kind. I'm so glad she's joined the fight to liberate women, it's great to have her with us. Thank you both for a great episode! ❤️🌷
My goodness, how ignorant I have been. I actually was so happy that women could drive in Saudi Arabia. I think I even tweeted about it. I didn’t even realize that women had to ask their male guardian to drive. It’s such a foreign concept to us Westerners. That’s why it’s so important to tell these stories.
This was one of the most impactful conversations I have ever listened to. Thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to learn through your personal stories. I am still digesting everything I heard here. All I can say is I will always stand shoulder to shoulder in solidarity with you and with all oppressed women, and when the day comes and you rally women worldwide to fight for your cause please know I will be there. Let us know how we can be of help. Love, strength and peace from Israel ❤
Most people have difficulty realising that Islam itself is the problem,they turn to or at least convince themselves that the Qur'an has nothing to do with the unfair and inhumane treatment under which they are raised. I personally do take issue with all religions,but at least some do have a forward leaning attitude towards certain scriptural principles. But at the core of all religious beliefs is the need for control and power.
I couldn't ignore it anymore when I finally made the decision to leave. I told myself for years that Islam just COULDNT have been my issue. I dived into doing more salat, more dhikr, more listening to lectures, more reading of the quran and ahadith but it was never getting any better. It wasn't until I told myself that I had to prioritize my mental health a lot more than islam and that's when my panic attacks stopped.
Think Anyam's point speaks to me. So many women (and men) of other cultures are surpressed and in so many different ways. Doubt all of us don't know what's going on. We know but what can we do?Sometimes personal survival is all. I had to 'weave' myself out of a very complicated 'shituation' that I couldn't even articulate. I doubt even people who I grew up with, who are fairly intelligent would remotely understand. Also individuals are affected differently, from the same family. No it wasn't all about religion, perhaps partially. It was more about collective politics and control. It was my experience and anyone who in anyway decides for me what's true and what's not in an arrogant manner, will be shut out if my life. That's the way it is! I am still affected by the disenfranchisement , to some degree, even today, working a way out. Those that had choices will never understood.
Really interesting video Yasmine and Elise. I think the emotional and psychological insights are the most helpful aspects to help the liberal world navigate a way out of this Stockholm Syndrome for all Muslims under the "spell".
I think it is very patronizing toward Saudi women when everybody celebrates the fact that women were finally "allowed" to drive when there are much more important rights that are denied to women. I think Stockholm syndrome is very common in SA.
@@YasmineMohammedxx yes she says about mixing something in her mum's coke but it doesnt expalin whether her stepfather sexually abused her and wanted her to shut up or was it someone else and he wanted her to shut up to protect his family's image. thank you for clearing that out.
I'm 48 minutes into the video, and my salient takeaways from this interview is 1) how her Saudi father was "evil smart" and 2) how many Saudi women are trained to perpetuate this atrocious misogynistic system even though they themselves suffer and are abused the most in it.
Sounds like her mom had trauma bonding, if she went away to watch tv all day, probably became severely dissociated and went into denial. It's a psychological coping mechanism. That is a lot to move to a different culture and be pushed into an evil false religion and enslaved to a guy like that. I feel hope is always healthy and helpful🌺 and critical
I'm so sorry these women had to go through this, my heart hurts for you all. While yes there are so many Muslim women being abused, there are millions who are not. Same could be said for any religion, culture, etc. At the end of the day its horrible evil humans with terrible cultures that subject women to this type of treatment. It is however NOT Islam.
Women in Persia had rights and dignity. Islam invaded wiped out the native culture, the native religions. Islam creates the culture. Islam brought FGM to Indonesia. It did not exist there before Islam's invasion.
Of course it is Islam. The percentage of women abused religion wise is much more in Islam than in other religions. But yes it happens in every religion.
What could you possibly know? She’s a fascinating soul. People who have suffered are the deepest and most amazing. Plus she’s breautiful. Yes I am a man.
Thank you Elise for sharing your story. Thank you Yasmeen and Your Colleagues making it possible.

The media shares the news that the mainstream wants them to share- not the reality on the ground. Thank you for listening to our voices 🩷
Wow this lady is very strong.

Thank you for this video. But unfortunately we didnt get to hear how Elise could escape from saudi @23:26

Elise,Your story is very touching 😢😢 hope you find polisher to help you with book.
Amazing and brave
she said she was sexually abused at 11, but by whom ?
a stranger or her step father ?
Yes, her stepfather. Did you hear the part where she said he threatened to kill her mom if she told?
@@YasmineMohammedxx
yes she says about mixing something in her mum's coke but it doesnt expalin whether her stepfather sexually abused her and wanted her to shut up or was it someone else and he wanted her to shut up to protect his family's image. thank you for clearing that out.
I'm old enough to remember when American women couldn't understand why Muslim women didn't want our help.
I'm 48 minutes into the video, and my salient takeaways from this interview is 1) how her Saudi father was "evil smart" and 2) how many Saudi women are trained to perpetuate this atrocious misogynistic system even though they themselves suffer and are abused the most in it.
I would like to know what happened to your brother? I hope he is ok🙏🏽
Yes, I thought about him later as well and wished I’d asked.
He was sent away at the age of 16 with my grandparents to America. Which in turn left me without the protection of my older brother.
@@EliseMEvansdefinitely going to be getting your biography

This is not a woman… no way
That's an intensely rude and ignorant comment.
What could you possibly know? She’s a fascinating soul. People who have suffered are the deepest and most amazing. Plus she’s breautiful. Yes I am a man.
