Times Have Changed For Women In Saudi For better
Before I tell you what rights these women have got after years of struggles. You should know they are still denied a lot of basic rights. The list is endless however take a look at some of the things
women still can’t do in the 21st century.

They are denied entry into healthcare facilities without a male companion. Not only that, they need a male companion to get a divorce, to travel, get a job. Even getting an elective surgery is not possible with their a male accommodating them.
But let's focus on what they have achieved over the years however ultraconservative their society maybe :
Women can vote

Yes, we really take things for granted. We know we are privileged when we don’t have to think about it. The start of 2018, the Saudi women will be able to enter sports stadiums. Now the three major stadiums in Saudi will have to prepare it for family accommodation. However, we still don’t know the seating arrangement of the stadium, since, in Saudi, it is an age-old custom that men and women sit differently.
Whatever the scenario may be in Saudi, these women are fierce and are always going to fight for their rights.
