Abstract Types of Gender Discrimination against Women of Saudi Arabia The Narrative of Saudi Women in their Own Words & Wounds Author: Fowziyah Abukhalid (professor of political sociology) Ironically, it could be noted that despite the absence of the Saudi Women in the public domain of their society, they have a massive presence in the main stream media on national and international levels. The question however is, do these media images reflect a representation of Saudi women. With the same token, it could be said that despite the enormous writing on the Saudi women, little is known about the perspective of the Saudi women themselves. Therefore, Serotype images were not only diming the reflection of Saudi females, but were also diluting types of gender discrimination against women in Saudi Arabia. This research took the initiative to be a representation of the voiceless perspectives of the Saudi women themselves by particularly studying gender discrimination against women based on their daily experiences in domestic and public domains. This was done through qualitative intensive interviews with 60 Saudi women, who live in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia. The sample was highly selective to be a representation of different strata of the society, from working class to elite. It represents women from different ranks of jobs which are access able to women, from genitors to senators. The analysis of these interviews uncovered the complexity of the Saudi women's confrontation of gender discriminations. It seems to post a challenge to a number of commonly simplified assumptions about gender discrimination in Saudi Arabia. Moreover, the analysis of the female sample's ethnography specifies the pluralistic nature of the gender discrimination against women in the Saudi society. It reveals at least five areas of confrontations: 1) Legal areas, represented by the campaign of lifting up male garden-ship over Saudi women. 2) Political participation, represented by the campaign of no taxation without representation. 3) The urgent need call for gender equality in employment. 4) The urgent importance of sociopolitical recognition of the multi- cultural nature of the Saudi society in its reflections on social status of women.5) the importance of rereading and rethinking both the cultural and the religious heritage on women by women. This research at the final analysis gives the reader a fresh eye in looking at gender discrimination against Saudi women outside the Western essentialism.
