Date: [Insert Date]
RIYADH – In his opening speech at the International Islamic Conference in Saudi Arabia, Saudi Minister of Religious Affairs Sheikh Abdul Latif Al Sheikh called for stronger measures to prevent the abuse of religion for political purposes. The minister’s statement comes in the midst of a rising tide of hate speech and secularism, highlighting the need to address this issue in order to promote peace and tolerance.
The two-day conference will focus on discussing the challenges posed by extremism and terrorism, as well as fostering mutual coexistence and tolerance. This gathering of Islamic scholars and thinkers aims to find solutions to the misuse of religion by certain groups for their own political agendas.
In other news, Saudi Arabia has witnessed a notable increase in the number of female employees in the country. The General Authority of Statistics recently released figures that show a significant drop in the unemployment rate among Saudi women. Last year’s data revealed that the unemployment rate among women in the country has decreased significantly.
According to the Ministry of Human Resource Development, the unemployment rate for women has now reached 15.4 percent. This decrease can be attributed to the unprecedented surge in the number of female employees, which has led to a higher female representation in the overall male-female ratio, currently standing at 36 percent. As of the end of last year, the total number of employed women in Saudi Arabia reached 1,470,000.
However, alongside this positive development, it has been reported that the number of divorces among Saudi women has increased. The recently released Saudi Women’s Report 2022 by the General Authority of Statistics indicates that 350,000 women are expected to be divorced in Saudi Arabia this year. The majority of divorced women fall within the age group of 30-34, with 54,000 divorces recorded in this age category. Additionally, over 53,000 divorces were reported among women aged 35-39. The report also highlights that 203,469 women will become widows in 2022.
As Saudi Arabia experiences these societal changes, it is evident that efforts are being made to address both the economic empowerment of women and the challenges they face in their personal lives. The country continues to strive for progress and balance, as it seeks to build a more inclusive and tolerant society.
