Together with thousands of other women, we have signed countless petitions and resolutions calling for freedom, justice, and safety for women globally.

Are you gay?' and drew the knife through my throat. " With these words, Cataleya described in October 2019 how her father tried to kill her. Cataleya was still a man at the time and only 17 years old. Because of the serious injuries, Cataleya, then called Seran, had to be placed in an artificial coma. With a lot of will to live and luck, she survived her father's knife...

Her brother said he killed her because she “brought shame and dishonour upon the family.” That is reminiscent of a strange story in the Qur’an. A...

    On this date in 1977, a 19-year-old royal adulteress and her paramour were executed in a Jeddah parking lot by the order of the girl’s powerful grandfather. Princess Misha’al‘s fate has been obscured by secrecy and the Rashomon-like interpretations imposed upon it by observers. In its outline (and the first stock interpretation we’re imposing) it’s that timeless human tragedy, the love story, in which headstrong royal daughter and suffocating traditional family square off over the seditious power of the feminine libido. The princess, in a youthful arranged marriage by most accounts, took up with a Saudi boy while both were...
