Saudi Women Seek Right To Drive
沙特女性争取驾驶权力
On 26 October, thousands of Saudi women plan to get behind the wheel of a car in protest of an unofficial ban against female drivers. Currently Saudi women are unable to obtain a legal driver’s license in Saudi Arabia. In the past, Saudi females who have tried to drive without a license have been fined or sent to court. When news of the demonstration broke out, a Saudi cleric told a news agency that driving could damage females'ovaries and pelvises. He warned women not to participate in the demonstration. Activists say his comments have helped increase interest in the demonstration. Many Saudi women hope that gaining the right to drive will lead to other rights that they are currently denied, such as opening a bank account without a male guardian. A similar campaign to achieve the right to drive was launched in Saudi Arabia twenty years ago. Many women lost their jobs because of it.
10月26日，数千名沙特女性筹划集体驾车，抗议女性禁止驾车。目前，沙特女性无法领到驾照。在过去，私自驾车将遭受罚款或牢狱之灾。示威消息一出，沙特神职人员在接受通讯社采访时表示，驾车将对女性卵巢和骨盆造成损伤。他警告女性不要参与示威活动。活动人士表示，他的言论激起了示威浪潮。沙特女性希望此次游行能够带动其它权力发展，在沙特，若无男性监护人，女性无法开户。20年前，沙特就驾驶权举行过类似活动。许多女性也因此而丢了工作。
