Some Saudi women have launched a protest against the abaya – a long loose-fitting robe used to cover their bodies in public – by saying that they will wear it inside out.
Under the hashtag “inside-out abaya” they have posted pictures of the robe, which they feel under pressure to wear.
In March Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman said the garment was not a legal requirement.
About 5,000 tweets using the hashtag have been sent, most from Saudi Arabia.
