Opportunities and Challenges for Young Female Entrepreneurs in Saudi Arabia

Although Saudi women entrepreneurs are limited in movement, choices, and obliged to follow family rules, Sara Alshareef's research shows that these women are still able to advance their careers within this framework. You may wonder, how? Please join Sara to learn about the story of these women and about the paths they were able to carve out for themselves to be entrepreneurs.

Sara Alshareef is completing her PhD at Royal Holloway University of London. Theoretically, her work draws on perspectives from entrepreneurship, capability approach, cultural geography, and sociology with the aim to contribute to human development, particularly women’s development.
