成人快手 Minute: On women in Saudi Arabia

A decision by Saudi Arabia's King Salman to allow women to drive for the first time is being celebrated by activists. Women there were previously prevented from doing so, and those that did risked being arrested or fined. It's got many asking whether Saudi Arabia, where strict dress codes and gender segregation is still enforced for females, is changing it's attitude towards women's rights.
