Women’s Rights in the Middle East and North Africa 2010
March
3, 2010
In order to provide a detailed look at the
conditions faced by women in the Middle East and understand the complex
environment surrounding efforts to improve their status, Freedom House
conducted a comprehensive study of women’s rights in the region. The first
edition of this project was published in 2005. The present edition offers an
updated examination of the issue, with a special focus on changes that have
occurred over the last five years. Although the study indicates that a
substantial deficit in women’s rights persists in every country in the MENA
region, the findings also include notable progress, particularly in terms of
economic opportunities, educational attainment, and political participation.
