Institutions, Law and Practices Hampering Women Engagement
Abstract
There is strong evidence about the situation of women in the Middle East and North Africa region despite a lack of highly accurate data available at the national and regional levels. The data that is available reveals that the empowerment of women and the level of equality between men and women are fluctuating. The most important findings concerning the status of women can be summarized as follows:
-The rights of women that do exist are poorly enforced. The economic, social, civic and political capacities of women are low. Consequently women are largely disempowered and uninfluential.
-Poverty deeply burdens women more than men, affecting everything from their education, health, and economic access to their participation in decision making. This directly affects women’s ability to enjoy all their human rights.
-The lives and civil participation of Arab women in the countries of the region are affected directly and indirectly by conflict and war.
