Unveiling Women's Empowerment: Exploring the Liberation Movement in Saudi Arabia
In 2018, Saudi Arabia underwent significant social and political transformations led by Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman as part of the National Transformation Program. The program aimed to bring about economic prosperity, cultural progressiveness, and political favorability within the country. One of the most ground breaking changes during this period was the removal of the driving ban for women, which had profound implications for both Saudi Arabian society and the global community. This research focuses on analyzing the portrayal of gender rights in online media publications and websites. A quantitative content analysis methodology was employed to investigate various aspects of media coverage related to women's rights. A sample of eight international online articles was selected for analysis, specifically examining the lifting of the driving ban and the overall development of gender rights in Saudi Arabia. Media frames were identified, and distinct categories were established to assess the perspectives presented in the articles.
