Saudi Arabia is attempting to reassure LGBTQ+ visitors ahead of hosting the 2034 World Cup, even though homosexuality remains criminalised.
20% of the parliament is women. Beating the US congress.
The guardianship rules doesn’t apply for working and traveling. So any woman over 21 can apply for a passport and leave if they feel like it.
77% of women has a secondary (high school) education and 37% participate in the workforce.
Yes Saudi Arabia has a long freaking way to go, but they’ve been closing the gender gap in recent years.
Womens rights is a theme among several middle eastern countries, I’m naive enough to believe they understand it will benefit society and not done so entirely to befriend Europe
The 119th Congress is 28% women.
Not exactly a brag, still about 20% short, but I suppose it’s still a win when compared to the Kingdom of Saudia Arabia.

Ah yes, 20% of the government appointed puppets are women.
That’ll make their theocratic genderapartheid much better.
