International rights groups are calling on Saudi Arabia to allow women to drive ahead of a planned day of defiance against a ban on female drivers.
Amnesty International wants Saudi authorities to respect women\'s right to drive.

Recently, dozens of women have defiantly posted online videos of themselves driving in several Saudi cities.
