US Needs to Break Public Silence on Lack of Rights for Women in Saudi Arabia

The Issue

While the United States is aware of the lack of rights for women in Saudi Arabia, they continue to lend political and economic support to the regime. In solidarity with the Saudi Women for Driving, we are asking for Secretary of Defense Hillary Clinton and other United States officials to begin placing public pressure on Saudi Arabia to change its policies towards women.
