Saudi Arabian women are so done with not having full rights in their country.
A recently released music video shows niqab-clad women skateboarding and wearing neon. It's a response to Saudi Arabia's requirement that women get permission from male relatives to do nearly anything.
Women in Saudi Arabia aren't allowed to do many of the activities shown.

The video quickly went viral and has received mixed reviews.
