The course of PR has evolved significantly in the last decade, and many career changes have emerged that emphasize the transition of women in the field from secondary roles to main roles involved in the details of the profession of this vital sector. Even though “Men’s Companion” faced difficulties in this field, but they have proven their ability to perform their vital tasks in various public, private, and non-profit sectors.
And when it comes to the role of women in local public relations companies and agencies in Saudi Arabia, they have a completely different approach from other local companies in other Arabian countries. The recent decisions on the empowerment of women’s employment issued by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development, not to mention one of the targets of vision 2030, have played the most prominent role in supporting Saudi women working in the field and have become a milestone in terms of two main levels:
• Leadership Positions.
• Future Professional Vision
