SustainHer Bridging the Gap: Empowering Women in the Energy & Sustainable Energy Sector in Saudi Arabia

Abstract

This research delves into the critical issue of women's empowerment and gender representation within the energy sector of Saudi Arabia, with a specific focus on sustainable energy. The government's Vision 2030 initiative significantly promotes women's participation in the workforce and fosters diversity in various industries, including energy. Despite notable advancements in empowering women, challenges such as cultural barriers, limited awareness of opportunities, and the need for enhanced educational programs persist. Achieving Women representation in the energy sector is vital for fostering inclusivity and mutual respect and driving innovation, sustainable development, and economic growth as outlined in the Vision 2030 priorities.
