Saudi Arabia is making major strides in women\u2019s rights, and it\u2019s all part of a larger push to empower women and align with the Kingdom\u2019s deep-rooted values. Dr. Hala bint Mazyed Al-Tuwaijri, the head of Saudi Arabia\u2019s Human Rights Commission (HRC), dropped some exciting updates during the 89th session of the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women in Geneva.<\/p>\n

Dr. Al-Tuwaijri highlighted that over 50 reforms have been introduced to boost women\u2019s rights, all part of Saudi Arabia\u2019s Vision 2030 plan<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Some of the standout reforms include changes to travel documents and Civil Status systems that ensure gender equality, updates to the social insurance system to set the retirement age at 60 for both men and women, and tweaks to the Labor Law to make sure men and women have equal rights and duties in the workplace. Sounds pretty awesome, right?<\/p>\n

There\u2019s also an Anti-Harassment Law, along with improvements to women\u2019s rights in education, healthcare, and social protection<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Plus, Saudi will be seeing more women stepping into roles in law, military, security, sports, and culture!<\/p>\n

According to Dr. Al-Tuwaijri, none of this would have been possible without the political will of King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, as well as the support from Saudi society itself<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The legal system has undergone a total transformation to ensure gender equality and create more opportunities for women, from new laws to updated regulations.Saudi Arabia is also keeping up with its global commitments to human rights, including the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women. The Kingdom recently submitted its special report on progress, and there\u2019s no stopping this momentum!<\/p>\n
