Rahaf Mohammed

Rahaf Mohammed was eighteen years old when she dramatically escaped from Saudi Arabia, capturing world-wide attention through her Twitter account. The daughter of a high-profile politician, Rahaf was raised according to an oppressive interpretation of Islam, where women and girls are given virtually no freedom. Knowing this, she staged an international escape in January 2019, which was sabotaged by the Saudi authorities. Rahaf was eventually granted asylum by Canada, where she still resides.
