How GCC National Visions Are Driving Women's Empowerment

Oman

Oman's Vision 2040 sees women as a core component of its diversification and modernization agenda. Its five-year plans under the vision all highlight equal access to education and business opportunities.

Currently, women represent more than half of the higher-education graduates and have an increasing share of jobs in several fields. Reforms in the parliament have improved work–life balance and social programs ensure women's participation in community decision-making.

The focus of Oman on inclusion reflects the recognition of women's roles in society. By making equality both socially and legally, Oman's plan is a clear picture of a future where empowerment is seen as a source of national pride and progress.
