It’s reported this morning that 33-year-old Mashael Al-Jaloud walked outside malls in Saudi Arabia yesterday, challenging the government’s position on “not forcing ‘Abaya’ upon Saudi women’.

In a video where she can be seen speaking about what seems to be a social experiment to test the waters, Al-Jaloud said that “there are no clear laws. No clear protection” in Saudi Arabia for women. She claimed that she “maybe at risk because I am not walking with an abaya.” There was however no evidence in the video to suggest that she was at any immediate physical risk and a just-now Google search gives no indication that she was arrested.

Despite her protestations, Al-Jaloud is reported saying that although she is remaining defiant, she is still forced to wear an abaya and headscarf to work or risk losing her job, writes Middle East Monitor.

In April 2019, the Columbia Journalism Review reported on the grave situation, torture and mistreatment for many Saudi dissidents, especially Saudi women involved in the let women drive campaign and beyond. Vogue Arabia celebrates the forward motions for Saudi women, but never comments on arrests or the torture of women activists in the region. AOC has always been committed to writing about these stories, wherever they occur in the world.

Gigi Hadid Covers Vogue Arabia's Second Anniversary Issue, Lensed By Peter Lindbergh

Gigi Hadid Covers Vogue Arabia's Second Anniversary Issue, Lensed By Peter Lindbergh

Palestinian American supermodel Gigi Hadid celebrates the second anniversary of Vogue Arabia in her first image collaboration with esteemed photographer Peter Lindbergh. Wearing Giambattista Valli Couture and Givenchy Couture, the editorial was photographed in Paris during Fashion Week.

The March 2019 cover is Hadid’s 37th to date, and her second for Vogue Arabia after launching the magazine’s debut in 2017, shot by Inez & Vinoodh. It’s refreshing to see that the Twitter pc police didn’t run Hadid off this anniversary cover after her debut appearance.

“Being Arab has influenced me to be open and loving of all backgrounds, realizing that being more of one thing doesn’t make you less of something else,” she muses proudly, reflecting on the impact her Palestinian heritage has had on her life. Last year, Hadid was photographed celebrating Eid with pop star Zayn Malik, and also marched the streets of New York protesting against US President Donald Trump’s anti-Muslim travel ban in 2017.

Not mentioned in Vogue Arabia, we note that Gigi Hadid is also a UN ambassador in refugee camps in the Muslim world.
