VOICED : Arabia Saudita: 20 mujeres acceden a cargos municipales

In a historic move, at least 20 women won public office in Saudi Arabia's municipal elections, marking the first time women could vote and run as candidates. Notable winners include Lama al-Suleimán, who secured a seat in Yedda's municipal council. Despite this progress, women still represent less than 1% of the elected positions. Saudi Arabia remains one of the most restrictive countries for women, who face limitations such as not being allowed to drive or travel without male approval. Municipal assemblies, the only elected bodies, have limited power.
