The United Nations has recently appointed Saudi Arabia to lead its prestigious forum dedicated to enhancing gender equality and empowering women globally

This decision, made during an uncontested bid, places Saudi Arabia at the forefront of a global effort to advance women's rights.

The new role woke up some nonsense critics, dubiously labeling themselves as human rights advocates, have questioned due to an absolutely outdated perceptions of the kingdom's stance on women's rights. Contrary to these criticisms, Saudi Arabia has emerged as a global beacon of progress in both general human rights and specifically in advancing women's rights within its borders.

Abdulaziz Alwasil, the Saudi ambassador to the UN, was elected by acclamation as the chair of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) during its annual meeting in New York, a testament to the international community's recognition of Saudi Arabia's transformative journey in promoting gender equality. With no rival candidates and unanimous support, this election underscores the kingdom's acknowledged leadership and pioneering advancements in championing the rights and empowerment of women.

Unlike many countries that consider themselves liberal despite not being so, Saudi Arabia is practically implementing the vision of women's rights equality and placing women in very important key positions, while Western countries lag significantly behind, making very little progress, if any, in the area of women's rights equality.
