The Defectors
Many people claim credit for helping Rahaf Mohammed prepare to escape Saudi Arabia and eventually make her way to Canada. But there's little talk about the secret society involved, to which Rahaf gave a public face. It’s a network of young women who’ve only met online, but some of whom have made the courageous decision to put their lives in each others’ hands. Their shared goal: to plan a dangerous, one-way journey to escape from Gulf Arab states — where laws, culture or both put their lives in the hands of men. For many members of this network, Canada is a preferred destination.
