A friend once said "We women must learn to choose our battles." Women in Saudi Arabia shape their agenda according to where they choose to take on their new challenges, what they prioritize, when they let go, and how they win. The self-evident statement that "Saudi Arabia should integrate and empower women economically" defines my battle and that of many other women.
Economic empowerment offers a win-win scenario for Saudi Arabia and its women. It promotes gender equality and helps the country to diversify away from petroleum, a longstanding national goal.
