| Summary: | Over the years, the Middle East and
North Africa (MENA) social and economic development group
has regularly compiled briefs on the status and progress of
women in the region for internal and external use. This is
the third compendium and its content is drawn from existing
data banks, records, statistics, and sources found in the
public domain. The compendium includes a regional gender
overview, country gender profiles covering all MENA
countries, individual country gender briefs for Djibouti,
the Arab Republic of Egypt, the Islamic Republic of Iran,
Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Syrian Arab
Republic, West Bank and Gaza, and the Republic of Yemen. In
addition, the compendium provides information on research
carried out in the area of gender and transport as there is
an increased interest in the role of infrastructure in
women’s economic empowerment, as well as research on
attitudes regarding gender roles based on the world values survey. |
