By criminalizing harassment, setting clear penalties, establishing employer obligations and complaint mechanisms, the law [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In order to remain globally and economically competitive, countries in the Gulf Cooperative Council (GCC) are pursuing diversification agendas in the form of ‘visions’ that strive to move away from a reliance on fossil fuels and international labour. This has, in turn, shifted the status of women in the economy and society which is reflected [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[A significant but overlooked aspect to the gender problem in Iraq is in policing, where lack of accountability and barriers to reform persist. A debate over ‘gender’ has recently erupted across Iraq, with influential political and social figures denouncing what they claim is a ‘Western’ agenda that threatens their cultural, social, and religious values.

The abysmal participation and representation of women in political spaces in the MENA region is the result of a complex patriarchal system that is reinforced by discriminatory laws and social institutions as well [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The Syrian regime is nominally secular, but its approach to women’s rights has long reflected the need to strike a settlement with traditional religious forces that are aligned with it and boost its legitimacy. This contradiction is embodied in the Personal Stats Law, which governs legal rights of men and women within marriage. The law, [&#8230;]]]></description>
