Civilized Role of Saudi Women
Saudi women are now always supported and their achievements are celebrated by promoting activities and events that highlight their developmental and civilized role, raising their level of self-awareness, and enhancing their active participation in international forums.
Saudi women received the attention and care of the leadership and won honorable positions. Empowerment was a prominent feature of being an active partner in the country’s elevation and development, and it achieved qualitative successes in various fields scientifically, economically, politically, and socially.
The appointment of the first Saudi woman to the position of Assistant Speaker of the Shura Council did not stem from formal tendencies, but rather the culmination of a career full of giving and achievements.
Due to the renewed legislation in the laws and regulations related to women, their role in supporting the national economy and comprehensive development plans has emerged.
