This study examines the rights of working women under the Saudi Labour Law and the compatibility of those rights with international standards stipulated by the (ILO). It focuses on working women in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) and examines the articles of the Saudi Labour Law devoted to working women. The study adopts a comparative critical analytical methodology by referring to the Saudi Labour Law and the ILO and comparing them with the labour laws in Jordan, Bahrain and the United Kingdom as to working women's rights. The study reveals gender equality in the Saudi Labour Law regarding vacations, end-of-service benefits, working hours and rest periods. Moreover, the Saudi Labour Law supports women over the death of husbands, maternity leave and breastfeeding. However, there is a gender gap in wages, especially in the private sector. The study recommends strengthening the rights of working women by increasing maternity leave to 14 weeks and establishing a new wage system in the private sector to reduce or eliminate the gender wage gap.en
