Women’s empowerment is an issue that has attracted several discussions in development and economics worldwide. Women have been trivialized over the centuries both in political and social contexts, and despite the need for gender equality, they are affected by lopsided gender views. While optimistic viewpoints perceive women empowerment as a welcome relief to the persistent gender bias, pessimistic views assert that empowering women makes them superior and domineering over men. 1 Notwithstanding the existence of conflicting viewpoints, women empowerment aims at creating suitable environments where women can freely express themselves and make decisions that benefit them and the community. 2 Female empowerment refers to offering financial, political, social and legal métiers to women to help them become confident and enjoy their human rights.

Female rights are ingrained in the Israeli constitution as typified by the 1948 Israeli Declaration of Independence. Conversely, the rights of women are disregarded and overlooked in the Saudi Arabian legal system. All Israeli citizens have equal political and social rights regardless of religious conviction, ethnicity or gender. Israeli women, therefore, take part in all aspects of Israeli life. Specifically, they are allowed to participate in local and national politics, hold managerial posts, and work in the country’s courts, as well as, military, and educational institutions. 7 Saudi women, however, have limited rights and face derision and ridicule, with a majority being stay-at-home mothers. 8 Only a small number of Saudi women hold positions of power, and their peers and men perceive such women negatively. 9 While Israeli women have the same voting rights as men and are allowed to participate in politics, Saudi women are forbidden from voting. 10 Presently, there were approximately
