Saudi Women Granted Right to Drive
沙特阿拉伯女性获得驾驶权
A royal decree has been issued in Saudi Arabia that gives women the right to drive. Until now, women in the kingdom have not been allowed to obtain a driver’s licence or drive a car. Saudi Arabia is the only country that has this ban. For years, human rights groups have rallied for women in the kingdom to have this basic right. Lifting the ban will allow many more women to go to work and will help save costs on hiring drivers. As female Saudi activist Manal Al-Sarif said, the decision was largely economic: “They cannot afford keeping women in the back seat.” The royal order will go into effect in June 2018.
沙特阿拉伯颁布了一项皇家法令，使女性获得驾驶权。直到现在，该国女性还无权获得驾照或驾驶车辆。沙特阿拉伯是唯一有此禁令的国家。这些年来，人权组织一直集结女性争取这项基本权利。废除这项禁令会让更多女性拥有工作，并节省雇佣司机的费用。一名沙特阿拉伯女性积极分子马娜尔·阿沙里夫说这项决定很大程度上是从经济角度考虑的：“他们承担不起不让女性驾车费用。”这项皇家法令将在2018年6月开始生效。
