Elevating Standards and Leveling the Playing Field
“My vision is of a country with a prosperous and diversified economy in which any Saudi citizen, irrespective of gender, who is serious about finding employment, can find a job in a field in which he or she is qualified. This would lead to a thriving middle class and one in which all Saudi citizens, residents or visitors to the country feel safe and can live in an atmosphere where mutual respect and tolerance exist amongst all, regardless of their social class, religion or gender.”
