On the anniversary of the pledge of allegiance to His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman , Crown Prince and Prime Minister, the spotlight is once again on the significant transformations witnessed by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in the field of women's empowerment . Saudi women have become essential partners in the development process and are strongly present in various economic, scientific, and media sectors.
In their interviews with Al-Youm newspaper, Saudi women affirm that the support they have received in recent years has contributed to opening up vast horizons for them to excel and lead, in line with the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030, which has placed women's empowerment among its development priorities.

Najla Jan, the first Saudi woman to win a government award in the field of tourism content, said that Saudi women have transcended traditional roles to become leaders and innovators in various sectors, from media and economics to technology, space, sports and entrepreneurship.

She added that these achievements reflect the leadership's belief that investing in Saudi citizens is the greatest investment, noting that women's empowerment is a fundamental pillar in achieving the goals of Vision 2030.
She explained that the growing success stories of Saudi women in leadership and innovation positions confirm that this transformation was not merely a series of decisions, but rather a comprehensive development path that opens new horizons for future generations.
She indicated that the significant support Saudi women receive has been the most important driving force behind their journey in the tourism content industry, adding that receiving an official award in this field is an achievement she cherishes and sees as a fruit of the empowering environment created by the leadership, particularly the support provided by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to open wider horizons for Saudi women to compete and achieve an influential presence both locally and globally.

For her part, Razan Wahbi, a specialist in tourism media, affirmed that women's empowerment in the Kingdom is deeply rooted in the history of the Saudi state. She recalled the founder, Abdulaziz bin Abdulrahman Al Saud, who proudly adopted the title "Brother of Noura" in honor of his sister, Noura bint Abdulrahman Al Saud, whom he trusted and advised. He entrusted her with receiving high-level women's delegations, making her one of the first women to represent the state at official events.
Wahbi stated that this historical legacy is being strongly renewed today under the Crown Prince, who has moved women's empowerment from a stage of support to one of competence and genuine empowerment. She emphasized that the transformations the Kingdom is undergoing place a significant responsibility on national talents in various fields, including media and communication, to keep pace with this rapid stage of development.
She added that the anniversary of the pledge of allegiance represents an occasion to renew loyalty and commitment, and to work towards achieving the aspirations of the leadership that is guiding the Kingdom towards broader horizons of progress and prosperity.

For her part, photographer Heman Adel expressed her pride in the anniversary of the Crown Prince’s pledge of allegiance, stressing that the era of Prince Mohammed bin Salman has reshaped the concept of “full citizenship” for Saudi women, moving them from the waiting benches to the platforms of leadership and influence.
She explained that the Crown Prince not only opened doors for women, but also paved the way for them through an integrated legislative and legal system that guaranteed them protection and empowerment, noting that Saudi women are living today in a historic stage in which many of the traditional obstacles to their ambition have disappeared, and the standard of competence has become the basis for achieving success.

She noted that the growing presence of Saudi women in fields where their participation was previously limited, such as aviation, industry, and artificial intelligence, reflects the leadership's belief that the nation's progress is achieved through the integrated efforts of both men and women.
For her part, media personality and journalist Ruqaya Abduljabbar affirmed that the anniversary of the Crown Prince's pledge of allegiance represents a significant milestone in the journey of Saudi women, pointing out that what has been achieved in recent years can be described as a "developmental revolution" that has placed women at the heart of the development process and decision-making.
She explained that the Kingdom's Vision 2030 has contributed to achieving qualitative leaps in women's participation in the labor market, with participation rates reaching record levels that exceeded expectations, reflecting the great confidence in the capabilities and potential of Saudi women.

She added that the current landscape reflects the widespread presence of women in various fields, where they have become ministers, ambassadors, researchers, and leaders in multiple sectors. She emphasized that modern systems and legislation have provided a supportive environment that has enabled women to effectively fulfill their developmental role.
She concluded by affirming that the anniversary of the Pledge of Allegiance is an occasion to renew loyalty and allegiance to the wise leadership, noting that the women of the nation will continue to work with determination to contribute to realizing the leadership's aspirations and solidifying the Kingdom's position among the ranks of developed nations.
