Saudi women writers have become a source of strength, protecting the underprivileged and the oppressed and projecting their sufferings by addressing many cases of abuse that the legal channels have failed to address, such as the "Qatif Girl" rape case, the divorce of Fatma and Mansour, cases of domestic violence, child marriages, etc."
