Abstract

The rights of women are among the most essential areas that researchers look forward to in social and legal fields as they are affiliated with cultural, social political and economic fields of life. The woman is the half of the society, as they say. Her role in the family and society is undeniably great, as she takes part in building her country by doing her job and raising generations to be relied upon for the nations’ progress; it was quite an important element needed for the development of legislation and the global concerns connected with rights of women at the local and global levels. The significance of the study originates by developing connection between the Saudi systems and international conventions affiliated with rights of women and responding the suspicions directed at the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia regarding women and the extent to which they fully enjoy their rights by researching the Saudi laws that regulated women’s rights and adapting them following the international charters and conventions signed by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. We take a look at the Kingdom's Vision 2030 and the rights it holds for women, which negates majority of accusations on any derogation of women’s rights at present.
