The study also sheds light on several good practices in the implementation of CEDAW in Arab countries and to legislative reforms, and monitors the modernization factors in favour of the political, social and economic rights of women in these countries. The study also highlights the role of civil society, women’s movements and international organizations in pushing governments to take action and adopt necessary legislations to eliminate discrimination against women.
