Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia's WokeMeter assessment score is 25, placing it near the bottom of the global ranking at 169 out of 186 countries. This score reflects a low policy signalling intensity, consistent with the nation's minimal engagement with Western-style progressive policies. Saudi Arabia's social and political climate is characterized by a lack of institutional DEI policies, corporate diversity mandates, and progressive content moderation laws, which are crucial factors in this index. The presence of anti-LGBTQ laws and limited women's rights further contribute to the low score, aligning with the index's criteria for countries with such policies to score between 20 and 35.

Examining the dimension scores, all categories—Speech & Expression Climate, Institutional DEI Policy Intensity, Education & Curriculum Signalling, Media & Platform Moderation, Legislative/Regulatory Activism, Corporate/Investor Signalling, and Protest & Activism Salience—are uniformly low, each at 25.00. This uniformity indicates a consistent pattern of low policy signalling intensity across all measured dimensions. The external data context, such as the Press Freedom Score and Quality of Life Index, which are both at 50.00, does not significantly influence the overall score due to the absence of recent progressive policy developments or events in the country that would elevate its signalling intensity.
