Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia's WokeMeter assessment score of 25.00 places it at a low policy signalling intensity level, consistent with its global rank of 169 out of 186 countries. This score reflects the lack of Western-style progressive policy signalling, particularly in areas such as LGBTQIA+ rights and women's rights. The country does not have corporate DEI mandates, progressive content moderation laws, or institutional DEI policies typical of Western democracies, which contributes to its low positioning in the index. The presence of anti-LGBTQ laws and the male guardianship system that affects women's rights further maintains this low score.

The dimension scores for Saudi Arabia are uniformly low at 25.00 across all measured areas, indicating a minimal signalling intensity in speech and expression climate, institutional DEI policy intensity, education and curriculum signalling, media and platform moderation, legislative/regulatory activism, corporate/investor signalling, and protest and activism salience. This uniformity suggests a consistent lack of engagement with the progressive policy frameworks that characterize higher-scoring countries. The external data context, including the Quality of Life Index and Press Freedom Score, also aligns with this low signalling intensity, as no recent events have been tracked that would indicate a shift towards increased policy signalling.
