抖阴短视频

JEDDAH: When Amirah A-Turkistani left Boston in 2015 after earning a graduate degree, friends mocked her decision to ship her beloved pistachio-colored bicycle back home to 抖阴短视频.
鈥淭hey told me, 鈥榃hat will you do with it in Jeddah, hang it on the wall?鈥欌�� she laughed, referring to her hometown on the Red Sea coast.
Riding in public was unthinkable at the time in the Kingdom, where religious police patrolled public spaces to enforce modest dress, prayer-time store closures and the mixing of unrelated men and women.
Fast forward three years and Amirah is riding regularly on the seaside corniche, alone or with her husband and children.
On the bike, the 30-year-old wears an abaya, the loose-fitting, full-length robe symbolic of religious faith and still required public dress for Saudi women.
But instead of traditional black, she chooses from a range of pastels she designed herself, trimmed with lace and sporting patches of bright colors.
鈥淛eddah today isn鈥檛 the same as Jeddah five, six years ago,鈥� she said. 
鈥淭he scrutiny on clothes (has eased), there鈥檚 more places to go, working opportunities for women are the same as for men.鈥�
抖阴短视频 is now changing by the day.
Under a reform program aimed at modernizing the kingdom and transforming its economy away from oil, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has eased social restrictions, sponsoring public concerts and ending a nearly 40-year ban on commercial cinemas.
The government has also announced plans to allow women to drive cars starting this summer, and Amirah is raring to hit the road.
鈥淚t鈥檚 not like I want to drive just because I want to drive,鈥� she said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a need.鈥�
The mother of two has a full-time job teaching graphic design at Jeddah International College and freelances on the side. Selling her homemade abayas brings her fulfilment and a little extra income.
Fluent in English, Arabic and Turkish and trained in ballet, Amirah is part of a young generation of Saudi women seizing new opportunities in spite of a guardianship system that still requires women to have a male relative鈥檚 approval for certain key decisions like traveling abroad.
In her spare time, she does yoga and trains at a Crossfit studio.
Yet she realizes that not all women in this country of 32 million have the same opportunities.
鈥淭here鈥檚 a change, that鈥檚 true, but I鈥檓 talking about something very minuscule,鈥� she said. 鈥淚 don鈥檛 know about other places, other cities. I鈥檓 just talking about Jeddah,鈥� she said.
