Women across the MENA region are driving social change, peacebuilding, and inclusive governance by advancing feminist visions of equal citizenship and strengthening their influence in political life. ARI supports this work through research led by women from the region, by convening feminist movements, researchers, and policymakers, and by bringing their analysis into the policy debates where decisions are made.
Since 2011, women across the Arab world have been playing critical roles in social movements, peacebuilding, and reconciliation processes, and have been putting forth new feminist discourse based on inclusive and equal citizenship. Supporting women as political actors includes creating sustainable channels and mechanisms for women’s inclusion and influence in political life.
