North Africa/Middle East
Women in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region face many of the same challenges as women around the world, including unequal citizenship and a lack of basic resources such as time and money. Exacerbating such challenges is the conservative nature of the region, making it particularly difficult for women to make the decision to openly participate in formal politics and to obtain the necessary public support to win.
