Women’s rights activist Loujain al-Hathloul 'is one of the leaders of the Saudi feminist movement, having campaigned to end the male guardianship system, as well as the Saudi ban on women driving.'

On Monday, April 19, women’s rights champion Loujain al-Hathloul, 31, was awarded with the top European rights award for her women’s rights activism in Saudi Arabia.

ADVERTISEMENT Hathloul"is one of the leaders of the Saudi feminist movement, having campaigned to end the male guardianship system, as well as the Saudi ban on women driving, and for greater protection for women facing abuse in the Kingdom," PACE said in a statement. During her time in prison, Al-Hathloul claimed she was beaten and sexually abused. The Saudi government denies these claims due to “lack of evidence.” This isn’t the first time Saudi Arabia has been caught violating human rights. They’ve also imprisoned anyone who opposes their government, for example: intellectuals, clerics, and women’s rights activists, NBC reported.
