<br/><br/> This volume provides a five-year retrospective review of improvements or setbacks made to women's rights in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. This survey, which combines quantitative ratings with a qualitative, narrative analysis for each country or territory, offers a thorough, cross-regional analysis of the legal and societal realities of MaineNA women. This work finds that a substantial deficit in women's rights persists in every country in the MaineNA region, the findings also include notable progress, particularly in terms of economic opportunities, educational attainment, and political participation.
