This report takes a country-by-country look at the role played by women in the uprisings in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. It underlines the obstacles that prevent them from playing their full part in the political and public life of their countries. It emphasises the importance of placing women´s rights at the heart of the political process, and considers gender equality to be a key to the success of the transition the region is witnessing.
This platform is part of the Axis 1 "Strengthening the capacities of equality actors" of the Priority Solidarity Fund "Women for the future in the Mediterranean" funded by the French Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs and led by the European Institute of the Mediterranean, in the framework of the project “Developing Women's Empowerment” labelled by the Union for the Mediterranean.
