Saudi women can’t drive. (all vehicles apply)
While women aren’t allowed to drive in Saudi Arabia, there was to be an exception during the 3-day long Janadriya Festival. Well, sort of.
A number of women were to be permitted to drive golf carts through the festival in order to assist older and disabled people, but the decision was changed at the last minute for “no clear reasons.” What a perfect example of interlocking oppressions! Lovely.
