Abstract
Saudi Arabia's government policy on the sex segregation between women and men encourages social unrest in Saudi Arabia, especially for women who are very limited in their social life. This study describes the socio-political conditions of women in Saudi Arabia and the socio-political movements of Saudi Arabian women in 2007 - 2017. This study uses a qualitative approach. The method used is the descriptive analytical method. The theory used in this study is a new social movement theory. According to Singh, the new social movement was a form of political resistance from the ordinary people who formed an alliance against the government authorities. The results showed that the social conditions of Saudi Arabian women were affected by several internal and regional political factors. The Saudi Arabian women's socio-political movement in 2007 - 2017 only struggled on campaigns on the social media and only a few took the form of demonstrations. The socio-political movement focused on lifting the ban on driving for women and revoking the trusteeship system for Saudi Arabian women.
