Women in Saudi Arabia
Despite all the opposition, Saudi Arabia women face in their quest for equal land ownership rights, I believe that the relevant authorities should do the reforms in the country. The Ministry of Interior, the Ministry of Labour and Social Development, and the Ministry of Education should work hand in hand to ensure that women enjoy their full land ownership rights. Studies have continually shown the benefit of having equal land rights between men and women. For example, in 1994, two Indian states changed the “Hindu Succession Act,” which enabled women to have the same rights as men in owning property. The research revealed that the number of children in schools increased and the economy improved. The results show that women have a more substantial likelihood to transform the whole society when allowed to own land as opposed to most men who are myopic. That is why there are global campaigns such as “Stand For Her Land,” which seeks to reduce the gap between differences in rights between the two genders so that women can enjoy equal rights to land ownership.
From the shreds of the evidence above, it is clear that women in Saudi Arabia experience oppression in their rights to land ownership. The deprivations and obstacles they face make it hard for them to realize their rights, which is in direct opposition to the views of equality across all genders. Therefore, this paper will help in highlighting the areas that need to be improved to establish long-lasting solutions in gender equality on issues of land ownership. More than just changing the rights to owning land, other rights in which women are oppressed should be changed.
