<![CDATA[Saudi Arabia's involvement in the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women (UN CSW) has drawn criticism from most member states because of its apparent contradiction with the ideals of the UN CSW. This study discusses the occurrence of Saudi identity reform in the gender realm, influenced by international norms as the main driver. The study uses a descriptive qualitative method by collecting data sources from various scientific literature to examine the process and efforts of Saudi Arabia to make its progressive image accepted by the global community. Alexander Wendt's Constructivity Theory is used to explore the identity of Saudi Arabia being reconstructed through the interaction of international norms in the UNCSW forum.
