Вставка

- There's no actual law against women driving in Saudi Arabia. But it's forbidden. Two years ago, Manal al-Sharif decided to encourage women to drive by doing so -- and filming herself for UA-cam. Hear her story of what happened next.

No one will understand the struggle of Saudi women but Saudi women.
Artioli McYourie and foreign residents in KSA
What about Saudi gays?
Thebeetleman4444 365 hahahahahaha they dont exist
Artioli, leave that lie Mohamed´s cult of death وَمَا كَانَ لِمُؤْمِنٍ وَلَا مُؤْمِنَةٍ إِذَا قَضَى اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَمْرًا أَن يَكُونَ لَهُمُ الْخِيَرَةُ مِنْ أَمْرِهِمْ ۗ وَمَن يَعْصِ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ فَقَدْ ضَلَّ ضَلَالًا مُّبِينًا
@@johnnyrocketz7808 gays exist everywhere my friend
Saudi Arabia just announced they will let women drive. So proud of you, Manal!! This is huge!!
Yep, annnnd then they jailed the women that campaigned for the right. ua-cam.com/video/QLBRZQ4quEM/v-deo.html
To be considered a traitor just for encouraging the women to drive! I hope each and every one of them Saudi women get out there, drive around, fly!!
What an amazing, brave, courageous woman.
please do not talk behind her back
I stand with manal. Muslim women, Arab women, and all women around the world deserve equal rights, and manal is doing the right thing by standing up for the women in not just in Arabia, but everywhere. may allah reward you for your good doing Manal.
I'm a Saudi women and I'm proud of her!
i saw u on 100 years of of beutey egypt
Then lay off that head diaper.
Michael Dahmi it's not your right to tell her what to do.. she is a grown woman who can make her own decisions. You don't need to make it for her.
@@dimethyltryptamin why would she? She's a free woman who wears whatever she wants
A big respect for saudis
Every woman in Saudi Arabia should drive everyday... They don't have enough time or jails to put them in, to arrest them all... LOL when all the mens wives, mothers, sisters and daughters are in jail, they will see how ridiculous their whole system is.
As a Muslim I should respect Saudi Arabia but those laws aren't making me proud , prophet Mohammad will never be proud , what a shame , luckily our leader have a wise brain to make his own wise decision

the caption in here: zakirnaikqa.wordpress.com/tag/two-women-equal-to-one-man/
you also could go here: www.free-minds.org/are-two-women-equal-one-man
two women equal to one man only in several certain cases.
Why wouldn’t he be proud?
@@kefkapalazzo1 Beacause the Saudi ancient culture and point of view on how women should live their lives is mispresented than what is actually in the Qur'an and what the prophet (S.A.W) taught us how we should treat each other
She has my name and has my passion too
I am proud of myself when I was fighting for her freedom :)
Saudi Arabian Prince holds the seat of the High Commissioner for Human Rights of UN, isn't that just quite ironic.
فخورة فيك منال انتي انسانة لن ينساها التاريخ وسوف تتذكرها الاجيال شكرا لك
Proud of you manal you are my inspiration
The worlds needs more people like this woman. She dares to stand up and speak when so many would cower in fear. You are a magnificent woman Manal al-Sharif.
I don't understand why Saudi Arabia does not allow women to drive???? why? it has absolutely no basis in Islam...
it's not even against the law !??? but women can't drive??!! WHATS GOING ON!
IM SO CONFUSED
the reason is,as u know Saudi is in the middle of desert, if a women drive alone and if her car got damage in middle of nowhere & there is a possibility of her being raped & kidnapped by strangers & anyone..as Saudi is strict about defending women's honour...well although I've seen couple of women drivers on road there...
Yes to Islam Aaahram the piece I did for the reason is due to the customs and traditions of Saudi Arabia does not allow them led Alemraeh
Even Hazrat Aisha (Rali) drove a vehicle. (i.e. a camel at that time)
"First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win." - Mahatma Gandhi
I live right next to Saudi (a bridge connects us) and it always makes me so sad to hear all about Saudi depriving their people and women of their rights. Manal gives me so much hope
Such a strong and beautiful woman! It takes a lot of courage to speak up and to do what she did and I applaud her for that!
It's so hard for women there, you can't escape if you get there. I can't help but admire her, she had to have so much guts to do what she did. Imagine being in a world where you have to worry about your life just because you drove a car?
DUDE, it's not hard at all. Saudi Arabia is ranked as the safest country for women
Well done Manal, The journey of a thousand miles starts with a short drive down the street.
+Elle Ghini Nope dear, it starts with ignition. :P
Wow Manal you are such a courageous woman . Becoming the rare few who actually stand up and take action . Your bravery is an inspiration to the women of Saudi and to the rest of the world
she's my role model
For driving a car?😂
go a head manal we need our rights !
Very impressive!! Respect for this woman!!
Reading through the comments here is incredible. It's astounding to see first hand that people really, genuinely believe that a woman controlling a steering wheel will immediately corrupt her, or turn her into some sort of demon. Words escape me... it's like you can put absolutely anything into a person's head, and as long as they hear and see it enough times they will genuinely believe it.
I find that terrifying. Absolutely terrifying. And this woman is phenomenal for standing up to it.
Yeah Manal, I am going to take my rights back as you did.
I'm with Manal. I'm a muslim girl too and I think that all the women in the world can drive and is not haram. At the women can drive it's like have liberty and feel better with our selves. If you're a man, put in our faces and understand us.
Because i love my country i am doing this#respect.
A true role model. I read her book and was stunned. God bless her.
What an amazing woman and such a powerful and motivating speech. The best of luck for the future.
The likes of Manal al-Sharif will always appear. Sisters, we will fight you. You will achieve everything you want. You will be free from prejudice, you will do what you like. I believe in you!
In her book, she references a case where a woman had to watch her father die because she was the only one at home with him (no other men were present) and she couldn't drive him to the hospital. Unbelievable.
This woman will always be such a great inspiration the all Saudi women who are afraid to demand all their rights.
most inspiring thing I've seen in a long time....
And the men here can go everywhere in the world and do whatever they want BUT when it come to the poor woman she shouldn't go out of the house without a man what if they haven't a shit man ? The life here is difficult I can't handle more
It's not about the religion
It's about the men who make us like slaves and the strict rules on the women
Soon Change Congratulations women can drive now!! Taking more steps to freedoms!
I'm a saudi woman I'm dead from along time, the basics rights here is not allowed for me I'm wondering sometimes if I can breath without permission I'm very frustrated the men and some women here who agree to be slaves with no rights they are the main reason
Where's the human rights help us!!
Just be good Muslimah and be patient sister. You are indeed slave of Allah. This life is just 70 yrs. Increase the Salah and fasting and be conscious to Allah. Allah prepared Jannah for the "Muxsinaat". And you can fly in Jannah and enjoy it FOREVER. Inshaa Allah. I am from USA And don`t confused, Non-Muslims never care Muslim women, all they want you is to be like them
Soon Change the thing is you need to find women who acknowledge what it's like. There are a lot who brush it aside and deny it. Find women who you can get support from and try to take trips out if you can. It's very hard I seriously understand.
Be patient is what chauvinistic twats say FYI ....
Every man that hears a woman talk about women rights in Saudi says be patient. If we banned their arses From driving don't think they'd be patient at all.
Soon Change I feel you habibty
Thank you so much for sharing. I will use this for educational purposes in groups of agriculture, equine and forestry students in rural Sweden. It is a fantastic story and ought to be shared over and over again, especially to those who doubt that one can have a faith (such as Islam in particular in the world of today) and still believe in equality and equal opportunities/ Andreas
Congrats! I have worked with many Saudi women and men here in the US and they are wonderful people! Things have been changing, slowly, but surely! Keep up the good work!
Go sister, I am so proud of you and hope so is your Mr. :-D
Ur such a gullible person lmao
Mohammad Aldosari
Allahu akbar! He is watching, so he knows the truth!
Manal you are an inspiration for us all
Poor girl :(
You'll be remembered as a hero Manal
Truly an inspiration and a hero to many!
She's so amazing, powerful and beautiful... would be a pleasure to meet her.
you as an arap woman speak really perfect english . congraculation ! 👏👏
Ava D And you as a human being who thinks Arab women do not speak good English, are not so good with English yourself.
What a stupid reply. Ava was just being nice and you're dissing her for that?
Thank goodness i live in america. I've just gotten my drivers permit and now im appreciating it even more.
Thank you so much for this beautiful speech.
منال الشريف انتي فخر لكل النساء بالسعوديه وانا وحده منهم
هذي بنت بلادي بالنهايه وهي ماسوت شي يخالف القانون
هي فقط حاولت تغير وتعطي كل وحده فينا حقوقها المهضومه
السواقه من حقنا كل الاعذار اللي قدموها لنا علشان يمنعوننا من السواقه
هي كلام فاضي بس علشان المرأه تظل تحت حكم الرجال
وبالنسبه لاعذار انه الفساد بيزيد
الفساد موجود ومدسوس طفشتونا والله العظيم على ناس وناس
المحترمه محترمه سواء معها سياره ولا رايحه مع سواق ترى مراح تتحول اذا ساقت السياره .
واللي سوته منال انا جدا معجبه فيه ولا وحده تجرأت تسويه
صايرين داعشيين كل شي حرام وين عايشين احنا نبي ندخل ٢٠١٦ وللحين الاعتقادات خربانه لا حول ولا قوة الا بالله بس .
"علشان المرأه تظل تحت حكم الرجال"!!
مع ان السواقة حق من حقوق المرآة الا انه ليس من حقها خروجها عن أمر زوجها أو ولي أمرها رضي من رضي وسخط من سخط.
"نحن ضد هظم حقوق المرآة لكن ايضا ضد "اتفلاتها
الي سوته منال عار عليها ومخجل لجميع الشعب السعودي!!
بالنسبة لداعش، ماله دخل بالموضوع
لكن في بعض البنات ما تحب تتقيد بالحلال والحرام لانها ببساطة من النوع الي ذكرته ( راعي الانفلات). أخيرا، الرجال قوامون على النساء والرجال الونعم بيعرف يصون أهله والي ماعنده كرامه بيفلتهم يبغى الفكة منهم! وينتظر خبر السماح بقيادة المراة اكثر منكم يالحريم!!
أتمنى السماح لكم بالقيادة!
Me scrolling through the comments hoping another that student is working on a Ted talk paper for this video and posted the answers on the comment section
This Ted talk put her life on the line. Deep respect.
I really respect you. I'm not a Saudi women, but I think that you are really brave. I hope you can keep your meaning open.
Living in Saudi from past 9 yrs...dependent mobility is a big issue...though lot of things a v good compared to other countries as a Muslim its much easier to fallow my din but i cant deny the negatives. I feel handicapped for always depending on my husband to travel from a place to another.(disturbing his schedule of working hrs.) Also the big Saudi society who so called follower of sharia in my opinion are racist...more than being a good human one needs to be Saudi by origin to be privileged to have a life there. they think only appropriate jobs for women is to teach or care takers as nurses n doctors....n after a long struggle now from past few yrs they have added few more opening to job market for "Saudi women" only... As Muslims they must not deny the freedom of every individual who lives in their country to achieve a better life.there are good number of expat women who are talented n capable to live better but are handicapped. women should be permitted to drive n pursue a career of their choice if they are capable to fit in.
I admire you.. It is up to the Saudi Women to be able to drive.. if all Women goes out and drive.. I would like to see this stupid government putting all Women in jail.. Saudi's Women have to on one hand to fight their right.. to everything.. not just drive..
SHE IS A HERO!
I kind of just want to give her a big hug
Oh dear! I wish you all the luck in the future! I am sure that Saudi Arabia's government has no chance in this fight. Globalization and increasing number of educated working women will leave no chances to the government. Step by step you will emancipate (in a positive meaning) yourselves from all the ridiculous and ungrounded bans. Good luck!
I'm a man but i'm so proud of these women.👳🏽♀️
What an inspiring person. I hope that her nation eventually recognizes her as the hero she is.
I'm a Saudi, great speech, I'm proud of your courage. Best wishes.
RESPECTTTT!!!! #BREAKINGTHETABOO
#سعوديات_نطالب_بإسقاط_الولاية
please keep fighting..u give the human spirit meaning!
A woman of action is a true inspiration.
Saudi Arabian laws do not banned from driving , neither Islam says so. It's their costumes
IT IS NOT THEIR CUSTOMS THAT IS PROBLEM, IT IS THE VIOLENT REACTION YOU GET FROM PEOPLE , BEATINGS, TORTURING AND EVERYTHING...
Oh, and there is a law...
Now at least
yea in other muslim countries we drifting :P
+Kieka Ismael 😂😂😂👍🏻
SO STILL SAUDI BANS WOMEN FROM DRIVING,, IT IS SAUDI CUSTOMS.. SO, LIKEWISE, SAUDI IS BANNING ITS WOMEN FROM DRIVING.. IF NOT, WHO IS BANNING THEM? USA? HAHAHAH! OF COURSE SAUDI ARABIA VIA THEIR CUSTOMS,, SO SAUDI ARABIA IS BANNING ITS WOMEN FROM DRIVING THRU ITS CUSTOMS....SAME THING! SAUDI IS BANNING THEM!
*NO WOMAN NO DRIVE*....
Hah!! Their right is to drive, but it's not really recommended for them at least for now!!
BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL!!!
Actually I am proud there are women like Manal in Saudi Arabia. I hope she could carry on and achieve her goals. Also I hope the Saudi women get their rights.
6:40 thats reduculas . The rolls in Saudi Arabia doesn't represent Islam at all . Manal was really brave when she started breaking the rolls
ridiculous**, rules** . It's not even (Rules), it's (Laws).
It's OK to type in Arabic..
عادي نكتب بالعربي
I do totally agree with that.
+Saud Bako since you are in the business of correcting people, stick to the spelling and let me correct your mis-understanding!! there is no actual law banning women driving... she already established that in the video.
Eman Al Zamil What's with the fuss? Did I mention laws banning women drivers? I just clarified what she meant by "rules".
I even, mostly, support women drivers.
Wow, u just can't help but to argue.
+Saud Bako you just typed "it's not even Rules, it's Laws" and what you were referring to, was the "breaking of the rules" regarding driving! and so i further corrected you're correction by clarifying that it is not Laws!
Good for you if you support women driving, that wasn't my point.
She's beautiful
I am so proud of this women , I wish we have more women's like her
I read about Manal in reader digest (U S Edition0 recently & was extremely inspired by her courageous determination 2 drive in the streets of RIYADH despite ban on Saudis women. Keep it up Manal & God give u more courage.
ba6ala!
why they consider you as traitor !!! i will do the same also ,, no need to distortion KSA image outside .. you JUST reverse the wrong and bad impression of the country
Manal - UAE
كم انت رائعة يا منال! والله انسانه متفتحه وشجاعة واشكر عائلتك التي ساندتك في افعالك الجليلة والقوية! دمت سالمة!
What a brave woman... respect.
I don't like Islam but i really like this Muslim woman
+omyjoe Hi! I advice you to read the story of prophet (PBUH), it might minimize your hate in ISLAM 😊 . . If u want I can send u.
Asyah Mangotara Who said hate? Ok, if you have a summed up version of half an hour or so? My understanding of him is that he was a great warlord who in his lifetime managed to conquer most of north Africa, the middle east and southwest Asia in a very short period of time. He also brought some women's rights to people that were a breakthrough at the time but are considered misogynist, paedophilic and patriarchal by modern day standards.
0myjoe Hate came because it was in your original comment, and watch your language just because your obviously ignorant to to history.
Hate?? What's hateful in my original comment? And your right, I was wrong about him bringing women's rights to people, after reading many verses of the kuran I have been proven wrong and Mohammed was a hateful biggot of women, gays, atheists, Jews, the list goes on.
Why are Saudi men so afraid of giving human rights to their women?
Maybe because they don't see women has humans but as property
I guess they are afraid of losing control
الف تحية وشكر لك يا منال ولكل بناتنا اللي يطالبون بحقوقهم
so touching
مر على المقطع4سنوات ,, لكن لعلك تعودين وتقرأين كلامي ... عندما تتحدثين عن بلدك بلهجة استهزاء وسوء فأنتي هنا لا تقدسين من قبل المتحدثين .بل العكس .. الحقيقة ينظر لك بمنظار ( المطرود من بلده لانه غير مرغوب فيه ).. عموما سيدتي الفاضلة .. التميز ليس بسواقة السيارة .. التميز مدى النجاح اللي حققتيه لنفسك ولمجتمعك .. أقوى مثال لذلك الشابة أضوى الدخيل .. كمية انجازات حققتها بعمر صغير والان عادت للسعودية.. لم تذكر مرة انها تريد سواقة المرأة أو انها اعترضت على قوانين السعودية أو حتى لم تتحدث بسوء عن بلدها امام الملائيين.. أخيرا لا تتحدثين بلسان الملايين من بنات السعودية بدون أذن أو احصاءات دقيقة بالقبول او الرفض ... وفي النهاية لم تنجح محاولاك ... تحياتي .
مادرت عنكم انتم وردودكم اللي زي وجيهكم
تزوجت برازيلي متحضر و عايشة في دبي
الله عوضها عن تخلفكم المقيت
تزوجت رونالدو والا ريبورتكارلوس؟
مين اضوى الدخيل ؟ ما قدمت شيء لا للمجتمع ولا للعالم مره شفت لها فيديو تغني فمو عارفة كيف صارت ناجحة وتقارن بالأستاذة منال ،من الغباء اشوف أشكال اضوى وافنان الباتل ناجحين او مقدمين شيء للمجتمع كل وحدة ممكن ممكن نقول ناجحة مع انها كلمة كبيرة عليهم لكن فقط فقط على مستواهم الشخصي نجاح شخصي لا اكثر -وحدة طلعت بعثة وصارت تسمى ناجحة ووحدة تستعرض سفراتها فوين الإنجازات يا ترا 😂- المهم ما قدموا شيء لغيرهم وهم عارفين وضع البنات في السعودية هم ببساطة بنات أغنياء يعني بالله وش يخليهم يفكرون بالقيادة وهو كل وحدة عندها سائق ما تدفع حتى راتبه 😆 اما منال الشريف مرت بمعاناة اي مرأة سعودية من دخل متوسط ووضحت كيف تعاني عشان توصل للوظيفة ولا للدراسة ،فبلدك متخلف وبيظل متخلف لو ما زادوا أمثال منال الشريف #سعوديات_نطالب_بإسقاط_الولاية 😋👊🏾
Ma Nal 👏👏👏
Ma Nal المطالبة بالقيادة أمر طبيعي وحق من حقوق المرأة لكن مافعلته حماقة. بنت الرجال ما تشتكي أهلها للجيران فكيف بهذي راحت للأعداء تتظلم عندهم. لو فيها خير جلست وطالبت. الكثير من العاطلين والمتصررين في السعودية ما راحوا للغرب يشتكون لا وعلى منصة "TED". هذي منصة للأفكار العلمية والمواهب والمحفزات وليست للتشكي والتباكي للأعداء.
إلا الحماقة أعيت من يداويها
I don't get it people acting like she saved a soul from death or did something good. . if you were uncomfortable in you're country go somewhere else ... it's not a big deal
Things will never change in these places if people just run away. Banning women from driving is such a weird thing, especially when other Islamic countries in allow it.
Sian Waller yes maybe but I have been in Saudi Arabia the driving there is dangerous 16 years old teenagers driving! That is so wrong .
+Felicia Sophie yeah
you dont' leave your country just because you are unhappy with one thing. grow up.
monsterhigh1975
It's not just one thing
1 she wants to drive
2 she's wearing clothes
3 she wants to speak for herself
I'm not the one the needs to grow up here
It needs real courage...I salute the lady...
I am so proud of this woman.
عبوووودي هههههههههههه
تبين تسوقين اجل
Rashid ALOtibi ههههه من جد
شخباركم بس
In my personal opinion .. I'm with manal.
But we don't have Public transport in Saudi Arabia, We just use cars and we have a traffic jams .. imagine this traffic jams when we let women drive..
what a banal argument! by avoiding the moral aspect of the issue, you don´t skip the problem. if traffic jams were the main issue here then the question would be why should men be given priority over Saudi roads?(to the extent that women wouldn´t drive so men could do it without any inconvenience.)
Saad. Al-Sahli it´s not one or two women, t is that in certain political environments it is hard to be outspoken. If modern saudi men like you don´t support them, who will do it?? isn´t there anyone willing to stand for their mothers´s freedom?
Saad. Al-Sahli - What a lame argument? It's not about women who are happy without driving. It's about women who intend to drive. It's about giving basic freedom to women to be responsible for their own mobility. The fact that KSA doesn't have public transport makes it ridiculous to deny women to drive. Have some shame as a young man as there are no other countries where women are banned from driving.
Saad. Al-Sahli Youre seriously broken.
Look at all the stupid SJWs XD
You are an amazing brave woman. You make us proud!!
im not saudi but im proud of u manal
It takes extra-ordinary courage to do what she did...
Way to go ladies! Keep up the good work and you will be blessed with change.
im so proud of her
What a brave woman❤️
That is a great speech, and inspiring
You give all women hope, Manal! You are leaving a legacy for the world and the human race--not just the women in your country. Your legacy is one of power and freedom. I do hope women throughout the world will VOTE as well as drive! This is a power, too, that can change the world. May God continue to guide you...I send you Love, Peace, Joy and Light!
... and thats probobly the bravest woman alive today...
She's my inspiration
I'm proud of your father. And you.
please send me the link to this study.
Way to go! That is definitely the way to represent your Muslim faith.
I salute you are a brave women respect from india
Bravo Manal!! Brave women like you is what the traditional islamic society needs!!
Soooo proud of you manal💙💙
im a british muslim man and i am proud of my sister
الهياط مشكلة وفي الأخير انسجنت 😂😂😂
