The woman who lead a cultural change
Manal
Al-sharif it´s an activist woman from Saudi Arabia, who confronts the authority’s,
culture and manners, doing a simple act that in the world it´s something
trivial, like drive a car. This act means a treason to the culture and Saudi
laws, she was detained and spent a few days in jail.
After this
situation, she take the decision to try to change this part of the Saudi culture,
try to explain to his society that this part of the manners of his people
wasn´t right, she turn in to the face of the freedom of the Saudi woman’s, demonstrating
with facts, that woman driving it´s not comparable to rape, kill, infidelity or
prostitution. With this position she has the support of many, many people
around the world, but in his country she still saw like a traitor, but thanks
to all that demonstrated support on social networks, now woman can drive in
Saudi Arabia. Manal al-sharif now is fighting for the freedom of woman´s,
telling to the world from the scenario of TEDglobal his incredible story about confrontation
to the “status quo” dominant in their country.
It´s incredible
that things so little for us, like woman drive a car, in other countries with different
culture cause that reaction, not only for the authority’s, almost for all the
people who lived in Saudi Arabia. I think that it´s important always recognize
and care our culture and origins, but society and countries are immerse in a
world in progress, all of the countries and his cultures can evolve, must
evolve always with the objective in welfare of his people. It´s too important
for all the people know about freedom to live, humans and society must work together for benefit of both.
