Saudi Arabia will soon appoint female judges in a landmark move to empower women, Hind Al-Zahid the undersecretary for womenโs empowerment at the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development, announced on Friday.
Recently, Minister of Justice Walid Al-Samaani issued directives to appoint 100 women notaries for facilitating judicial services for women.
The ministry also recently appointed many qualified women in the fields of law, Shariah, sociology, administration, and technology in the ministry for the first time.
Justice Ministry has been focusing on female employment within the legal sector as part of its plans to support and empower women, widen their career options, and help them play a bigger role in this sector.
Al-Zahid, speaking to Al-Arabiya TV on Friday, stressed that the government is committed to empowering women.
She pointed out that the rate of Saudi women’s participation in the labor market has reached 31 percent, surpassing the target set for 2025, which was at 25 percent.
Regarding the lack of female leaders in the public sector, Al-Zahid attributed that to the late entry of women in many ministries and agencies. She pointed out that the percentage of women leaders in the Ministries of Education and Health is the highest compared to other bodies, and attributed this to the early work of women in these two ministries.
Al-Zahid reaffirmed Saudi Arabiaโs seriousness in supporting women empowerment, at several levels, to enter the labor market, or remain in the labor market through a supportive environment, equal opportunities, and to reach leadership positions. She added that the neutral international indicators reflected the Kingdom’s progress in supporting women’s empowerment at all levels.
