A music video tackling the various bans imposed on Saudi women is taking the internet by storm. The video clip titled "Hwages" shows burqa clad women dancing, skating, playing basketball and singing. The video begins by condemning the country's 'guarship system' which prohibits women from traveling without a male guardian. In the video women are then shown riding toy scooters, skateboarding and singing on streets, ignoring men who gesture them to stop. "May all men disappear from the earth. They give us psychological illness" women chant in one of the verses. The video has been viewed two million times since it was uploaded on You tube on December 23.
