Five years after Saudi Arabia allowed Women to drive, some progress has been made in women's rights, including increased participation in the workforce and the removal of gender segregation rules. However, human rights campaigners argue that the reforms are superficial and that women continue to face oppression, including arrests for expressing their opinions. Critics also highlight discriminatory provisions in personal status laws and the continued control of women by male guardians in conservative families. Activists believe that the Saudi government is more focused on improving its image than implementing meaningful reforms.
