4th Session of the Forum on Minority Issues
Permanent Mission of Saudi Arabia
In Arabic/female
Thank Madam Chair. Thank you for giving us this possibility. I am Haya Bohari from Saudi
Arabic. The minority education in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is a priority for the
government. We raise awareness of women in knowing their rights, especially the right to
education, so they may seize all economic opportunities and participate in cultural and
political life taking high level posts like men without any form of discrimination. The state
provides equal opportunity and education for all citizens and residents. Universities were
opened in all parts of the kingdom to provide education to all including women. Recently,
we have opened the largest female university for 30 thousand students. Also boarding
capacities were available for women coming from rural or far areas. These universities
open their doors regardless of any discrimination on the basis of sex, gender or other.
Thank you.
