    DescriptionOverall, it seems that not much has been achieved regarding women’s rights in the MENA region. While poverty and economic inequality levels in the Middle East and North Africa are considered to be among the lowest levels within the developing world, the issue is quite different when we turn our eyes towards gender inequality.

    Gender inequality is an aspect that has global implications, with significant repercussions for the Arab world that is failing to integrate women as part of its economic and social model. In general, women’s social, economic, political engagement, and public life participation remain very limited.
