女性參賽

沃丹·沙赫卡尼為首位代表沙烏地阿拉伯參加奧運的女性運動員,她參加2012年夏季奧林匹克運動會柔道比賽

根據沙烏地阿拉伯法律,直到近期,女性是不得參加奧運的[1]。然而國際奧林匹克委員會施壓沙烏地阿拉伯奧林匹克委員會派出女性運動員參加2012年夏季奧林匹克運動會之後,2012年6月沙烏地駐倫敦大使館宣布已經同意[2][3]

There were calls for Saudi Arabia to be barred from the Olympics until it permitted women to compete—notably from Anita DeFrantz英语Anita DeFrantz, chair of the International Olympic Committee's Women and Sports Commission, in 2010.[4]In 2008, Ali Al-Ahmed, director of the Institute for Gulf Affairs, likewise called for Saudi Arabia to be barred from the Games, describing its ban on women athletes as a violation of the International Olympic Committee charter. Stating that gender discrimination should be no more acceptable than racial discrimination, he noted: "For the last 15 years, many international nongovernmental organizations worldwide have been trying to lobby the IOC for better enforcement of its own laws banning gender discrimination. [...] While [its] efforts did result in increasing numbers of women Olympians, the IOC has been reluctant to take a strong position and threaten the discriminating countries with suspension or expulsion."[5]
