The reforms in Saudi Arabia are allegedly aimed at responding to the aspirations of the country’s youth. But the same reforms that were supposed to include them have in fact led to the exile and repression of critical voices. The chapter examines the growing Saudi diaspora at a time when the regime pledges to empower the youth cohort. It also explains how the diaspora uses social media to organize its activism.

Chapter Six demonstrates how the Saudi regime’s nominal promotion of women’s rights is largely manipulation rather than real empowerment. State policy to empower women goes hand in hand with serious human rights abuses and repression of feminists and other activists. This chapter discusses the emerging feminist scene in Saudi Arabia and the struggle of women for equality and basic rights.
