Challenges women face in Saudi Arabia

Women in Saudi Arabia face severe restrictions and human rights violations, despite some recent reforms: Women require permission from a male guardian to marry, travel, work, or access healthcare. They also face restrictions on dress codes and interaction with men. Prominent women's rights activists like Loujain al-Hathloul have been imprisoned, tortured, and subjected to threats of rape and death for advocating for women's rights.
