The Study on the
"Situation of Women in the Gulf States" examines women's rights and
gender equality studies (Bahrain, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar,
Saudi Arabia and the United Arab
Emirates). On one hand the document highlights similarities and differences
among the eight countries in access to education, economic and political
participation. On the other hand, it analyses the overall situation of gender
discrimination in law and in society. A series of recommendations are addressed
to EU institutions, suggesting how EU policies and instruments could be developed
to support women’s rights and enhance gender equality in the Gulf States and in
the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC).
