The arrival of Hwages on the internet came three months after Saudi women protested the country’s restrictive guardianship system. Under strict current laws, women cannot travel, marry or leave prison without the permission of a man (usually their father, husband or son). Male consent can also be required before a woman is able to take a job or receive healthcare.

A report by Human Rights Watch condemned the guardianship system this summer, sparking a petition signed by thousands of Saudi women and a hashtag: #IAmMyOwnGuardian.
