For decades, the prohibition against female drivers has been held up as evidence by critics of the ultraconservative kingdom that Saudi women were among the world’s most repressed. If the ban was the symbol of all that was wrong with Saudi Arabia, then lifting it—on June 24—would prove that the country was on the right track. So Driving Day was, in a way, a coming-out party for Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s #SaudiArabia. That meant well-scripted rallies, carefully selected spokeswomen and photo-ready #driving classes. Nowhere was there a mention of the activists who had spent the past three decades campaigning for women’s right to drive, save for unwelcome—and unanswered—questions from foreign media about six of those #activists, who have spent the past month in jail on unspecified charges. Other activists were released from detention but warned not to speak to the media. The decision by a crown prince who calls himself a reformer to detain activists calling for reform raises a question for a generation of young #Saudi women whose future lies in the balance. Does the lifting of the driving ban signify a genuine turning point, or is it merely a symbolic bone thrown to silence his critics, leaving more fundamental issues for women unaddressed?
