Progress of Arab Women 2004 (English/Arabic)
The key objective of this report is to serve as a tool for identifying unfulfilled promises and for revisiting current strategies and program of actions for protecting women's security in Arab States. This report which provides an insight to the world of Arab women and the progress achieved throughout the years, opens with a brief overview of what focusing on human security means and how such a focus relates to the history of women's movements within the region. Three levels of action in the region are investigated in the report towards women's empowerment: the policy level where international commitments are being made, the operational plans and actions at the national level, and most importantly, the achievements and challenges in terms of the everyday lives of women. The chapters of the report are founded on the fundamental importance of achieving women's security, an objective that can only be achieved through social, political and economic change that translates into real differences in the lives of women in the Arab world.
