Saudi Arabia has published new laws that loosen restrictions on women by allowing any citizen to apply for a passport and travel freely, ending a long-standing guardianship policy that gave men control over women.
Women wait in line to ride go carts at a road safety event for female drivers launched at the Riyadh Park Mall. Saudi women have only been allowed to drive since last year.Still in place, however, are rules that require male consent for a woman to leave prison, exit a domestic abuse shelter or marry. Women, unlike men, still cannot pass on citizenship to their children and cannot provide consent for their children to marry.
Esraa Albuti, an executive director at Ernst & Young in Saudi Arabia, displays her brand new driver's licence in June 2018.In a lengthy study of Saudi male guardianship laws in 2016, Human Rights Watch criticised it as "system that was ripe for abuse."
