Description
- Abstract:
- The article highlights the central role of women in the political order as well as social, religious, and cultural dynamics in the Middle East as of September 2011. In Tunisia, where Arab revolts started almost a year ago, women protested alongside men, led public demonstrations, launched social media campaigns, and such. Challenges faced by women's rights in the Arab world include politically empowered Islamist parties that contest existing laws on religious grounds. The different oppositions faced by women activists in Egypt include those against their legal status and rights
