Imprisoned - End Male Guardianship in Saudi Arabia
Abstract
It's a video which lasts 36 seconds. It illustrates a father who refuses to allow his daughter prisoner to return home because she covered the family with shame. In Saudi Arabia, women are subject to an oppressive male guardianship system and the woman must have the consent of her guardianship to leave prison! Is it wise to require the permission of a male guardian for a woman to be released from prison? This video comes to make advocacy and fight men's guardianship on women.
