Shireen al-Rifaie, a Saudi national working for Dubai-based Al Aan TV, filmed a piece to camera last week explaining what the end of the rule would mean for women’s freedom in the conservative country.
During the segment, the wind blew open her abaya, the long robe which women in Saudi Arabia must wear by law. A video of Ms Rifaie posted was shared thousands of times with the hashtag “naked women driving in Saudi Arabia”.
