Driving not 'be all' of Saudi women's rights: princess
What's the story
Saudi Arabia is working to address deeper issues on women's rights after allowing them to drive and attend soccer matches, said Princess Reema bint Bandar al-Saud.
"These are things that are quick wins, we know we can do them, women in stadium, women driving, that's great, but women driving is not the end all, be all of women's rights," the princess said.

The Saudi women
Saudi women would be allowed to drive from June
As part of a wide-ranging social and economic reform initiative, King Salman announced in September that Saudi women would be allowed to drive from June this year.
The kingdom, the world's only country where women cannot get behind the wheel, then tackled the male bastion of soccer, letting women into stadiums to watch matches for the first time in January.

The steps taken towards women's rights
Saud, a Vice-President at the General Sports Authority of Saudi Arabia, said deeper issues are still being worked on including "a woman feeling safe in her home" and having any career path open to her in a traditionally male-dominated society.
"Those are things that will be more dynamic in moving the conversation for women's rights than just getting her driving," said Saud.
