Arab World: Gradual Advancement of Women Rights

Question

Description

Short Essay on Women’s Rights in the Middle East 

Each student will be asked to write a short essay (600 words +/-) in which they offer a snapshot of the current state of women’s rights and gender equality in at least TWO countries in the Middle East and Gulf States, with a focus on identifying key patterns, trends, challenges and opportunities rather than minute details. The short paper should largely be inspired by the readings but will/should involve some additional research. The idea is to approach the paper as a mini-briefing paper, i.e. as a snapshot of key trends. Focus, nuance and evidence of understanding what is happening are key. Please upload your paper in (Times 12pt, double-spaced).
