Saudi Arabia: 34 Women Appointed to Key Roles in Two Holy Mosques

In the two holy mosques in Mecca and Medina, the Saudi Arabian government has appointed 34 women to leadership positions. The General Presidency for the Affairs of the Two Mosques has stated that the appointments are intended to enhance visitor services at the two holy mosques.

According to the statement, the move “is part of the qualitative changes the Kingdom seeks for qualified Saudi women to serve female visitors to the two holy mosques.”

In August 2021, Saudi Arabia appointed two women as assistants to the head of the General Presidency for the Affairs of the Two Holy Mosques.

Earlier this month, Saudi Arabia announced the appointment of 32 women as drivers in the Haramain Express Train Leaders Program.

The oil-rich Kingdom has taken a number of measures to empower women in recent years, including allowing women to drive and enlist in military service.
