Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia's WokeMeter assessment score is 25, which aligns with its current composite score and places it at the 168th position globally. This low score reflects limited Western-style progressive policy signalling, particularly due to the absence of DEI mandates, corporate diversity requirements, and progressive content moderation. The lack of LGBTQIA+ rights and protections, combined with restricted women's rights, such as limitations on legal equality and workforce participation, contribute to this low intensity. Recent events have not indicated any significant shifts towards increased signalling intensity, maintaining the country's position in the lower percentile.

The dimension scores for Saudi Arabia are uniformly low across all categories, each registering at 25. This consistency suggests minimal variation in policy signalling intensity across different domains. The Speech & Expression Climate, Institutional DEI Policy Intensity, and other dimensions reflect a similar level of restricted policy signalling. This uniformity indicates a systematic approach that lacks the progressive features typically associated with higher scores, such as comprehensive DEI policies and strong content moderation frameworks. The external data context, which includes moderate Press Freedom and Quality of Life indices, does not substantially alter the overall assessment of low signalling intensity.
