08 maart 2018: Photo and words by @tasneemalsultan (Tasneem Alsultan) | "I asked my father for a BMW, but he gifted me a horse instead" jokes Ekleel, a young Saudi and aspiring horseback rider, musician and sports enthusiast. “There are many restrictions that are specific to women in Saudi Arabia, such as the legal male guardianship and the longstanding ban on women driving, but I realize that it's only made us persevere in the fight for equal rights. Women's Day, in my experience, has been about celebrating the many women that have been tenacious fighters, in hopes for our daughters to understand the difference between privilege and basic human rights.” #PressforProgress #InternationalWomensDay #IWD2018 #WomensHistoryMonth #NatGeoWomen
