Saudi Samar Rabah Fights Segregation


The Saudi reporter Samar Rabah wanted to read her paper at a scientific conference in the Happy Kingdom. But because she wanted to read it from the men's podium, she was asked to leave to the women's section. Just another reminder that women should know their place. But she's lucky that they kicked her out in person, as clear from the picture above, and not by texting her.

Rabah's action is a reminder that no matter how oppressive the system is, there are always people resisting.
