Saudi authorities save woman from abusive father

"Should our women always take to Twitter in order to find someone to save them? Until when will this go on? Why isn't there a clear law to protect them? Have some mercy on our girls and women, enough is enough." 

Not a rare case of abuse in the kingdom

 

This certainly isn't the first time an abused Saudi woman turns to Twitter to expose her abusers. Earlier this year, a video of a Saudi woman accusing her father and brother of abusing her went viral on social media. 

In it, the victim says the men beat her and threw her out of a house they shared, along with her mother and two children. 

The footage also led to a heated debate on the kingdom's male guardianship system, which renders female abuse victims helpless.
