الملخص:This chapter explores the transformative impact of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 on women’s roles and gender equality. It highlights legislative and educational reforms that enhance women’s participation in various sectors, challenging deeply ingrained patriarchal structures. Through case studies and personal narratives, the chapter illustrates the tangible benefits of these reforms while acknowledging persistent challenges such as gender-based disparities and psychological distress among female workers. Theoretical insights from feminism and decolonization are applied to propose comprehensive strategies for dismantling patriarchal norms and promoting gender equality. Key recommendations include enhancing women’s legal rights, supporting female leadership, promoting inclusive education, and addressing gender-specific healthcare needs. The chapter underscores the importance of both top-down reforms and grassroots movements to achieve genuine gender parity, positioning Vision 2030 as a catalyst for profound social change in Saudi Arabia.
