Womens' Self Empowerment
Written By Dr. Brenda Rivera - Billings Dr.P.H., MPH, M.Sc.

In Saudi Arabia, a women-centric city may be just what the women there need. A utopian society where women hold all the cards. According to author Despite the obvious benefits, some feel the added isolation might only further degradation of women’s rights in a country where little prevail.

According to author Jean Brittingham (2012) this social experiment aimed at redefining sex relations in the Middle East as we know them was little more than a myth that created a whirlwind of widespread dissension country.
