THE CHALLENGE

Women’s abuse is a real taboo subject in Saudi Arabia, and is constantly brushed under the carpet. There are no concrete figures as to how many women are abused in the Kingdom as no studies have ever been allowed, but many put the numbers at 92% of married women are abused, mainly by their husbands.

On the 26th August 2013, Saudi Arabia passed a new law protecting women against domestic abuse that is punishable by law. Again international news channels have picked it up, citing the campaign as one one the key drivers.
