A woman in #SaudiArabia posted a pic of herself without niqab or hijab and now others are too under the hashtag #تضامن_مع_ترف_العسيري
Imagine posting your FACE and HAIR being such a brave act of resistance 
A revolution is happening in MENA-and it’s being led by women.

“the frequent debate about the niqab and hijab reflects the division between liberal and conservative currents” Yes! Exactly. And ppl in the West have it so backwards when liberals support the hijab. *Click on ‘English’ at the very tophttp://www.bbc.com/arabic/trending-45247939 …

I hope I’m wrong but Iran has a much better chance at revolution than Saudi Arabia. Most Saudis (men and women) are way too loyal to their royal family that they wouldn’t dare say a word against them, even if they execute every single activist (which is not far from happening)

a revolution in Saudi is not possible. tribal loyalties, financial dependencies, religious conservatism, a weird code of honour, a tight patriarchy and laziness have things locked down. plus, as you point out, people get dead if they need to be dead.

Can we have a Nobel Peace Prize for these brave women and their equally badass revolution?

So proud of her. And yes, showing ones face is a really brave act. With so much nuance and hatred, I can totally relate. Proud of her
