Abstract EN
The study examines how Saudi young women express their aspirations through social media networks such as Snapchat, Instagram and Twitter.
It focuses on four areas of interests: 1- Gender equality which includes Saudi young women’s views on equality in job opportunities and employment in government and private sectors; 2- Freedom which includes freedom of lifestyle, traveling and education; 3- Independence which includes identity and the sense of individualism; and 4- Discussion of public issues which includes the right to vote and discuss public issues in society.
The survey involves high school and university young women selected randomly and purposively in four cities in Saudi Arabia.
The survey results show that that young Saudi women favor social media as a means of expressing their concerns on the four issues under study.
