Al-Sadah is a columnist whose writing questioned the male guardianship system and advocated for greater rights for women, including the right to drive. In late August 2018, Al-Sadah was arrested as part of a larger crackdown on women’s rights defenders in the Kingdom. Authorities released Al-Sadah in late June 2021 following the expiry of her sentence, but she remains under a travel ban.
