It is about time! Arab Women are falling so way behind in their Basic Human Rights! 🙏 Thank You So Much for the Modern & Progressive Thinking New Saudi Arabian Government to Govern their Great Kingdom through Good Universal Civil Laws, instead of erroneously based on " Race & Religion " like in their past that resulted in so many conflicts & wars! ... 🕯🌎
