In 1963, the Soviet Union sent the first woman astronaut in to space. Over 50 years later, Saudi Arabia was still torturing women like Loujain al-Hathloul just for wanting the same equal rights to drive an automobile as men. Some of them have gone missing after being tortured, and Loujain is unfortunately one of these women. To be released from prison, she had to agree to deny on camera, that she’d been tortured. Because she refused, she was held in solitary confinement, beaten, waterboarded, given electric shock and threatened with death. As an ally to Saudi Arabia, the United States has yet to even ask that she be released. Though women in Saudi Arabia were given the right to drive in 2018, women like Loujain are still imprisoned.
