Saudi men 99% attack her because they think she is setting a bad example for Saudi girls and encouraging them to disobey Islamic and traditional Saudi laws and this will lead to the collapse of society as they claim.

For Rahaf, unfortunately almost 95% of Saudi and Arab girls attack her on social media, claiming that she run away just to fulfill her sexual desires only, for those, it’s hard to explain to them what freedom is. On another side, there are some lucky girls raised in an open minded families, those one have almost no problems living in Saudi Arabia where the country is moving forward to provide more basic rights for women, but it still have a long way to go for the oppressed girls.

I can feel a small part of what she has been through because I live in the same environment but on the lucky side (male), her family might be a bit more on the extreme side but still there’s so many families like hers and worse, and most of girls unfortunately don’t have the courage to rebel or escape, so they keep on living their lives under the wing of their families and just surviving day by day, so she is one of the few lucky ones. Incredible story even for me as a Saudi man Moving from Rahaf’s early days on the underground online network of Saudi runaways, who use coded entries to learn how to flee the brutalities of their homeland, to her solo escape to Canada, Rebel is a breathtaking and life-affirming memoir about one woman’s tenacious pursuit of freedom. Raised with immense financial privilege but under the control of her male relatives-including her high-profile politician father-she endured an abusive childhood in which oppression and deceit were the norm. Now Rahaf Mohammed tells her remarkable story in her own words, revealing untold truths about life in the closed kingdom, where young women are brought up in a repressive system that puts them under the legal control of a male guardian. The teenager reached out to the world, and the world answered-she gained 45,000 followers in one day, and those followers helped her seek asylum in the West. As men pounded at the door of her barricaded hotel room, she opened a Twitter account.

If forced to return home, she was sure she would be killed, like other rebel women in her country. In early 2019, after three years of careful planning, Rahaf Mohammed finally escaped her abusive family in Saudi Arabia-but made it only to Bangkok before being stripped of her passport. A gripping memoir of bravery and sacrifice by a young woman whose escape from her abusive family and an oppressive culture in Saudi Arabia captivated the world
