  • Descrição: In Saudi Arabia, women suffer from gender inequality due to a combination of multiple factors. These include the misunderstanding and misinterpretation on religious principles, discriminatory cultural traditions, discriminatory laws, and social issues, as well as history. The Islamic teachings are misapplied to favour men over women. With the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia having a discriminatory culture towards women, it is not surprising to note that the country is lagging behind both the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait in terms of the provision of women’s rights. Both the UAE and Kuwait perform better than the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in terms of education for the girl child, female labour force participation, participation of women in decision-making process, as well as based on legal provisions relating to the rights of women and gender equality. In legal terms, it would appear that the laws that Saudi Arabia uses to govern gender relations are not compatible with international law. Going forward, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia needs to invest in the education of the girl child, incorporate women into the decision-making processes, and eradicate laws that prohibit women from joining professions that are traditionally dominated by men. The leadership of the Kingdom should work collaboratively with the other stakeholders of the Saudi society to raise the status of women by encouraging customs, cultural norms, and religious beliefs that uphold the woman as an individual deserving equal rights as men. With this understanding, the current thesis presents an analysis of the plight of working women in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The thesis also offers recommendations on how the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia can improve the status of working women in line with the international law and uphold international conventions and treaties.
