International organizations have called on Saudi Arabia to improve protections for the rights of women with disabilities working under the kafala system, according to reporting by PassBlue.

International organizations are criticizing Saudi Arabia for failing to provide adequate legal protection for women with disabilities working under the kafala system, and are calling for comprehensive legislative reforms to ensure their fundamental rights independent of the sponsor's authority.
