Launch of the Women's Economic Empowerment Forum(WEEF)
Abstract
The report notes that while women in the Middle East and North Africa are better educated and skilled than ever, the share of them in work is still amongst the lowest in the world. The report acknowledges that women do not share the same rights as men although there are major differences between countries. Bringing the legal frameworks, in particular family and labour laws, in line with gender goals enshrined in national constitutions should enable more women to enter employment and make MENA economies more competitive and inclusive
