15-11-2017
The Saudi justice minister, Sheikh Walid Bin Mohamad al Samaani issued a directive opening positions for women for the first time in the Kingdom’s history. The four posts include, social researcher, Sharia researcher, legal researcher and administrative aide. Semaani also stressed that the ministry of justice has been keen to provide jobs for Saudi women given their role in facilitating the provision of services for women beneficiaries in the courts, including lawsuit documentation. He commended the distinctive and positive contributions by Saudi women across all industries and sectors. To recall, Saudi Arabia has taken several bold measures to reduce unemployment among females. According to the General Authority for Statistics, the rate of unemployment declined from 34.5% at the end of last year to 33.1% at the end of the second quarter of the current year. The Kingdom’s 2030 vision goals are aimed to raise the participation rate of women in the labor market from 22% to 30%. (Al Hayat, November 15, 2017)
