If you’re on Facebook – like the Saudi Women Revolution page. They want numbers, numbers, numbers. CNN reported the Facebook page likes.
The Saudi Women Revolution was started as a Facebook page and a discussion topic, or hash tag, on Twitter in February, by Nuha Al Sulaiman…The Facebook group now has more than 3,000 “likes” and a core of the women have met in person to discuss their campaign.
Well it’s more than 4,000 now; do your bit and make it more again.
Their chief aim is ending male guardianship, which means Saudi women often need permission from their husband, father, brother or even son to work, travel, study, marry, or access health care, according to Human Rights Watch.
They also want to be allowed to drive, which is forbidden for women in the Kingdom.
And they want to vote. Imagine that.

Done. That was the easy part.
Much as I would like to show my support, I’m not on facebook & have no intention of joining.
Doing right now!
Well I did say if you’re on Facebook. :- )
Weirdly, or perhaps by now not so weirdly, it is useful for this kind of thing. Just ask Hosni Mubarak.
Done.
