For the first time in history, Saudi Arabia saw an anchorwoman when they tuned in to one of their state-owned TV channels. Weam Al Dakheel appeared alongside the other anchor, Omar Al Nashwan, and became the very first female that has appeared to present the newscast on the state-owned TV Channel 1.

Traditionally, the men have been dominating all of the newscasts in the evening in Saudi Arabia until now, and the female presenters were scheduled from the light morning newscasts, the cooking shows, the women’s programs, and any weather updates. So women have been presenting on various news channels before, however, it’s never been done with the nightly news broadcast before. This breakthrough in Saudi Arabia occurred just a few days before Saudi National Day.

The first woman that presented on a news channel as Jumanah AlShami, and she did so very recently - in 2016. And as for Al Dakheel, this isn’t the first time she’s worked on a news broadcast. In fact, she holds a degree in journalism from the Lebanese American University, and she has also worked at Al-Arab News Channel in Bahrain and at CNBC Arabia in the past. Her appearance on the Saudi TV channel is actually a part of an effort to include more women in the Saudi workforce. The Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman last year unveiled a very ambitious plan called Saudi Vision 2030, where he intends to modernize the entire country and do his best to move it away from all the reliance they have on oil exports.

The entire plan for 2030 also has a much more inclusive Saudi Arabia imagined, where the women can easily work or move around. It was just this summer that women were allowed to drive for the first time, and now, they’re also welcome at soccer games and have a lot more employment opportunities. The Crown Prince is also hoping that he’ll be able to get a lot more women in the workforce by the end of the plan, more specifically, at least a third of it to be women, and right now, they hold about 22% of the entire country’s jobs.
