- Description
- This report provides an overview of situations of women in the MENA region after 2011. Despite of achievements and improvements in women's lives in health and education, there is less progress in women's participation on the labour market, in politics and the civil society. The report not only examines the impact of the conflicts and the political opportunities after the 2011 Arab uprisings, but also focuses on the situation of LGBT persons. It proposes an approach that balances the ethical demands of individual and collective rights as well as a liberal position supporting women’s and LGBT rights.

- Description
- The changing media and the empowering of women in the Middle East are described. The authors analyses Iran's women's press, Maghrebi women filmmakers and Egyptian political films, Palestinian TV and Hezbollah's television station, Al-Manar. It takes as its starting point the diverse experiences and multi-layered identities of women and treats media institutions and practices as part of wider power relations in society. By analysing media production, consumption and texts, it reveals where and how gender boundaries have been established or crossed.

In particular, she describe debates and discussions within the region pertaining to women’s rights.

- Description
- The essays in this collection examine issues of gender, family, and law in the Middle East and South Asia. In particular, the authors address the impact of colonialism on law, family, and gender relations: the role of religious politics in writing family law and the implications for gender relations: and the tension between international standards emerging from UN conferences and conventions and various nationalist projects. Employing the frame of globalization, the authors highlight how local and global forces interact and influence the experience and actions of people who engage with the law. . .By virtue of a 'south-south' comparison of two quite similar and culturally linked regions, contributors avoid positing 'the West' as a modern telos. Drawing upon the fields of anthropology, history, sociology, and law, this volume offers an exploration of the complicated history of jurisprudence with regard to family and gender.

- Description
- This book discusses why autocratic leaders in Morocco, Tunisia and Alegria have applied more extensive legal reforms of women's rights than the Middle East countries. It analyzes, based on fieldwork, how women's rights are used to advance the political goals of authoritarian regimes in an attempt to sideline religious extremists. It shows how Islamist political parties in the North-African countries have been forced to change their positions on women's rights to ensure political survival.
