Women as Nation Partners
The article argues that Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s view of women shifted from seeing them as an untapped national resource to recognizing them as partners in development. It emphasizes removing barriers to their participation and grounding their rights in laws and institutions. This approach was reflected in his 2016 remarks on expanding women’s participation in the labor market, followed by his 2018 affirmation of their human rights. It was put into practice through measures that included allowing women to drive from 2018, legal reforms in 2019 concerning travel, employment, and civil status, and the Personal Status Law of 2022. The article concludes that the most significant change was not any single decision, but a shift in the basis on which Saudi women are afforded opportunities—enabling them to help build the nation in keeping with their skills and abilities.
