Reem looks through her smart phone as she talks in a room in Hong Kong on February 25th, 2019. Reem, aged 20, and Rawan (aged 18) (not their real names) fled from their abusive family and Saudi Arabia's oppressive conditions while on holiday in Sri Lanka and were intercepted in Hong Kong on their way to Australia to seek asylum. They first felt the need to escape Saudi Arabia after following some hashtags on social media about the oppression of women in their country.
