Today is the International Women's Day. And with all the talk about women's right and lack of it specially in Saudi Arabia, i read a lovely post today titled ( For Those Who Stood Their Ground ) by the amazing blogger who doesn't stop to amaze me about her continues fight for women's rights with her different topics about women you can not find anywhere but in her blog, women who you can heard about when talking about weird or strange news but not to celebrate or shed any light on their daily lives. Her posts always short and to the point. And I always love them. Thank you Desert Demons for celebrating women's rights daily.
I also like to thank Susie of Arabia for discussing life in Saudi Arabia and always reminding everyone about the life of women here whether they are Saudi or non. Today she shared the video of the women who drove cars on the roads of Riyadh in 1990. here is the video
Very brave women indeed , a big salute to them.
For any man reading this, don't be intimidated by such beautiful celebration because today is the day to be reminded of your mother, wife, sister, daughter and all those lovely women in your life 's rights. Seek them and hand it to them because their rights is yours. For those who believe otherwise, we are going to have our entitled rights soon :)
P.S: If you know of any blogger who discuss women's rights all the time or even for today. Please mention them. Thank you :)
Happy women day hun :) Thanks for sharing and glad to read more about women's right here in blogsphere *hugs for sisters*
