I stand in admiration and support of the progress achieved by women in Saudi Arabia. The strides taken in the last six years have been profound, reflecting a pace of change that could be equated to decades, if not centuries, of progress in other regions. The dedication and courage displayed by Saudi women, championed by leaders like HRH Ambassador Reema Bandar Al-Saud, show the potential for rapid and significant advancement in gender equality. The transformation witnessed in Saudi Arabia highlights an essential narrative: women not only embrace change but also lead it, breaking down long-standing barriers in fields as diverse as sports, entrepreneurship, and even space exploration. Today, 57% of STEM graduates are Women. As we look around the globe, no country has yet achieved complete gender parity. The journey towards equality is universal and ongoing. Yet, if each nation could emulate the speed of progress demonstrated by Saudi Arabia, the estimated 131 years to reach a fair and equal world would shrink dramatically. Let's accelerate our collective efforts. We're reminded that equality is not just a destination but a continuous path of progress and empowerment. Together, let's support the advancement of women everywhere, for when women thrive, humanity moves forward.

The dynamic presence of Gulf women is revolutionizing the workforce landscape across the region. Harnessing this momentum requires targeted efforts towards inclusion. In Saudi Arabia, a nation deeply rooted in tradition, a significant paradigm shift is underway. Aligned with the ambitious Vision 2030, Saudi women are transitioning from their traditional roles as homemakers to becoming pivotal contributors to the country’s socio-economic fabric. Government backing for female entrepreneurship is palpable through initiatives like the 'Monsha’at' program, offering financial support and training to women-led startups. Similarly, Emirati women stand at the forefront of philanthropy and civil engagement. Entities like the Dubai Women Establishment and the Abu Dhabi Businesswomen Council serve as influential platforms shaping policies and societal perspectives #شركات_مباشر #السعودية #SharikatMubasher #Business #Company #investment

Cara Nazari, CEO of AmCham Dubai, Member, Global Network of American Chambers of Commerce (American Business Council), shares her superpower, "resilience" at the recent Break the Ceiling Touch the Sky 2024 program. In a powerful reflection, Cara highlights the challenge of unconscious bias, especially for women in leadership. She emphasizes resilience and persistence—"putting yourself out there over and over"—are key to overcoming these biases.

In this growth region, visibility and presence of women in business remain crucial for future success.

The diversity in the room was remarkable, with a strong and visible presence of women.

According to the 2021-2022 Women’s Report for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, 95% of Saudi women see entrepreneurship as a good career choice, 93% see opportunities for new businesses and 90% report that it's easy to start one. Female entrepreneurs have been at the forefront of this transformation, now making up 45% of the Kingdom’s SME owners. Let’s not forget that exposure to strong female role models is essential for young women, showing them just how far they can go in the professional world. The future is bright, and the contributions of these talented women will continue to drive the Kingdom forward. #Vision2030 #SaudiArabia #Empowerment #WomenInBusiness #FinancialLiteracy #DiversityAndInclusion
