In Saudi Arabia, more and more women are trying to flee their country for more freedoms. It was without counting on the determination of the government that recently developed an application, Absher, that allows fathers and husbands to prevent them from leaving the territory. Explanations.


If the government of the day is trying to make the international authorities believe the opposite, it is not really good to be a woman in Saudi Arabia. If on September 26, 2017, they obtained from King Salman the right to drive, they do not remain less prisoners in their own country. Consequence: they are more than one thousand to try to leave the country every year. A phenomenon that has not escaped the government which, in partnership with the Absher app, allows fathers and husbands to prevent their wives and daughters from leaving the kingdom. The men use this app to pay fines, renew their driving license and especially, to monitor the slightest displacement of women under their tutelage. In this country, women need the permission of a guardian (father, brother or husband) to travel. Thus, thanks to this application, men can grant, and especially refuse, permission to travel to their wives and daughters. If one of them presents their passport without the authorization of their husband or father, the app sends a direct notification to the principal. Result: she finds herself stuck. No you are not dreaming, we are well in the 21st century.

Only times when Saudi women can leave the country unguarded: trips abroad. It is indeed the only period where the authorities have orders not to spy on them. Many women make the choice to leave without ever returning. Some also try to circumvent this law by impersonating their guardians or by stealing their smartphones. Problem: most of them are caught by their family and the penalties are extremely brutal. Internal and external support networks are under construction, but the steps to access them are long and tedious. And the chances of escaping remain minimal.
