The order has been issued to support and enhance Saudi women's participation in the comprehensive development that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is experiencing. Saudi women, with their thoughts and actions, have succeeded in contributing to the advancement of the march of national development, which made them enter new historical stages in their lives, occupying positions in the fields of human rights, research and security. Politically, they were able to participate and vote in municipal councils elections, and 21 Saudi women became members in the municipal councils. In addition to the rights that strengthened the status of Saudi women as a basic partner in the development of society, 13 women were appointed in the new Council of the Saudi Human Rights Commission, and law trainees were granted licenses to practice law in Saudi Arabia's courts, in addition to standardizing the retirement age between men and women in line with the work system and establishing several programs that support women's job stability, such as the Female Transportation Program (Wusool), which aims to increase the percentage of women participation in the labor market and enhance their job stability. With these changes in the process of empowering Saudi women, laws and rules for their protection were enacted. They were allowed to drive, issuing an anti-harassment law, in addition to facilitating Saudi women extracting documents and renewing them for their family members. An anti-harassment law was also issued. With the growing presence of women at different levels, the Saudi women's existence was astonishing in all cultural and creative fields.

Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 has focused on the full participation of Saudi women at all levels, investing their energies, and providing services that facilitate carrying out their national duties. In this regard, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development has revealed that the Saudi female labor force participation rate amounted to 31.3% in Q3 2020, which reflects the success of the empowerment plans and the high level of awareness of the importance of women's participation in the labor market. The new laws and regulations related to women stress the importance of their role in supporting the national economy and comprehensive development plans, and contribute to raising Saudi Arabia's competitiveness regionally and globally, which made Saudi women the focus of the world's attention to talk about, giving them full confidence and they have a high level of responsibility.
