We hear from Nawal Al-Hawsawi, a black Saudi woman who’s received racist abuse online for tweeting about her support for inter-racial relationships. She’s been called the “Rosa Parks” of Saudi Arabia for her campaigning against racism. BBC Trending asked her why she thought she was being targeted in this way?
