Manal al-Sharif | The False Promise of Saudi Reform 

Saudi women's rights activist Manal al-Sharif garnered international attention and was detained after posting RU-vid video of herself driving in an act of civil disobedience. Despite intimidation, al-Sharif pushed the #Women2Drive movement forward, which eventually helped lift the ban on women drivers in Saudi Arabia. At OFFinNY, al-Sharif spoke with BBC journalist Philippa Thomas about the power of internet activism, and the work still to be done to achieve gender equality in Saudi Arabia.
