In Saudi Arabia, women must have male legal guardianship. The guardian can be her father, uncle, brother, or sons. Under this tradition, Saudi women must obtain permission from their guardian to work, travel, study, marry, or even access certain types of healthcare.

In November 2012, a new technology was rolled out in Saudi, a mobile tracking device. This device notifies the woman’s guardian, by text message, should she decide to travel out of the country.

Women are outraged. A The MILLA Project says, "We are not minors. We are adult women who deserve the right to freedom. They treat us like slaves with no respect."

Men are outraged as well. “Before a woman travels out of the country, she needs to have permission from her father, brother, husband… whoever her guardian may be. Sending me a text message telling me my sister is leaving the country is ridiculous. I already know she is! It's horrible the way women are treated.” states a friend of The MILLA Project.

It's time the Saudi Parliament annuls the guardian rule. Support the women of Saudi. Sign our petition.

2 women from my family tribe suffered domestic abuse one from a brother and the other fro a husband. The Alshehri women are the most beautiful and the bravest in Saudi Arabia! They know their worth as Muslim women and they understand their rights and place in Islam and their role in molding future good muslim men so they show their boys what is ok and not and they fight against anyone who uses Islamic traditions or Saudi customs to excuse the unexcusable when the Prophet's last words were " the best of you are the best to their women" So PLEASE ! Every cruel and abusive man who thinks he can get away with male privilige and shameless interpretation of what is full of shame .. Go try your evil ways on eachother !

Why is your goal only 100 signatures. Do you expect such a poor turn out. Are objectors frightened?

This is ridiculous. It is 2017 and women should be in charge of their own lives. We are humans not property.
