Women s empowerment is a universal goal. Women s access to education, their full participation in work life, and their political engagement are prerequisites for prosperous and peaceful societies. Yet, the conditions for women s empowerment vary widely, and the obstacles that must be overcome vary accordingly. This is also true within the Middle East, a region where the general trend is that women s empowerment has been lagging behind, but also here with large variations between, as well as within, countries.
