Abstract

The modernization of Saudi Arabia, manifested in the Arab Vision 2030 policy, has implications for various sectors of life, including the perceived modern transformation of Saudi women. Among the research on Arab Vision 2030, this article specifically focuses on elaborating the forms of transformation of Saudi women in various fields. This research uses a qualitative descriptive method that focuses on exploring literature related to women's activities and roles in the public domain after the implementation of Arab Vision 2030 and analyzing them from a modernist perspective. The results show that Arab Vision 2030 significantly impacts women's activities and roles in the public domain, especially in the socio-cultural field. This includes women's freedom to engage in public spaces, even without the presence of a legitimate companion (mahram), and without wearing a niqab or burqa. Women are also granted freedom in the fields of education, such as unrestricted choice of study programs and politics, including the permission to become politicians and hold ministerial positions, and in the economic field, with the freedom to choose careers and become corporate leaders.
