Series on women in the Middle East published in five languages
Al-Monitor’s monthlong series on women in the Middle East has highlighted the many and diverse roles that women are playing in shaping the future of the region. A recurring theme in our coverage has been the long-standing and ongoing struggle to reconcile the constraints of religious orthodoxy with the struggle for women’s rights. Women across the region are using whatever resources available to them to work within the system to strengthen their rights and achieve equality.
