Status of Arab Women
• Population Dynamics and Demography
Women make up almost half the total population of
the Arab region (48% women, of the region whose
total population is 373 million)
In the Arab region, the burden of raising children is on
women. Despite the drop in the child dependency ratio
in some countries like Tunisia and Egypt, it continues to
be high in other countries. The highest is in Somali
(93.4), followed by Comoros (75.8), Sudan (73),
Mauritania (70.1), Iraq (69.3), and Yemen (69).
Status of Arab Women
• Population Dynamics and Demography
Arab women are expected to live longer. In 2014,
life expectancy at birth was higher for Arab
female (at 72.8) compared to 69.2 for Arab male.
Migration: In 2014, 36.4% of the migrants were
women in the Arab region, i.e. 9 million women
have migrated to other countries
• Education, Employment and Labour Market
Adult female literacy rate in 2010 (regional avg only available for
2010): 67.9% compared to 84.1 for male.
In 2012, female primary school enrollment (% gross) reached 96.7%
compared to 104.3% for male.
In 2012, female secondary school enrollment (% gross) drops down
to 69.9 compared to 74% for male. For Arab female, this is a
significant improve from the 56.7% in 2000.
24.3 % Arab women participation in the labor force (Half of the
global rate) in 2012, compared to 22.1% in 2000.

Protracted conflict, Political transition, Structural
Reform
2. Gender-based inequalities and discrimination,
are rooted
3. Existing Patriarchal (Personal status and family
laws)
4. Sexual and Gender Based Violence significant
challenge for women in some Arab Countries
5. Peace-Advocates and Women Rights Defenders

Context Setting
Challenges
1. Lower control of social, economic and political
resources and opportunities
2. Cultural and social reproduction of women’s and
girls’ subordinate status
3. Persistence of Gender-Based Violence
4. Discriminatory institutional and legislative
frameworks (Laws, Policies ,Practices)
1: Lower control of social, economic and
political resources and opportunities
• Women in the Arab Region are living under conflict,
protracted conflict, political transition, or
structural reform with challenging political, social,
economic and legal conditions, affecting them more
than men.
• The uprising of strong conservative currents.
• Women have limited employment opportunities as
well as limited control over resources due to lack
of access to land, credit, networks, marketing and
information.
• The majority of working-age women are active in
unpaid care work, the agriculture sector, or the
informal sector.
2: Cultural and social reproduction of women
and girls’subordinate status
• Gender-based inequalities and discrimination
rooted in society, linked to norms, traditional
practices, and long-standing values.
• Prevalence of stereotypical images of obedient,
emotional and dependent women, and attitudes
of patriarchy, hamper women from realizing their
full potential.
• Women's lack of control over their own bodies,
and limited access to information related to
sexual and reproductive health.
3: Gender-based violence
• Sexual and gender-based violence in
both private and public spaces
continues.
• Harmful traditional practices limit
women’s choices and control over their
own bodies:
• Female genital mutilation/cutting
• Early marriage
• Limited access to education.
• Sons Preference
4: Discriminatory institutional and legislative
frameworks
• Gender-based inequalities and discrimination in
legislation: property rights, access to justice, family law.
• Gender equality in legal frameworks is circumscribed by
prevailing inadequate
laws(customary/juridical/Religious) or lack of their
implementation
• Limited acceptance of temporary special measures for
women in Parliament and decision-making positions.
4: Discriminatory institutional and legislative
frameworks
• Gender-blind policies and procedures influenced by
narrow interpretations of Islamic Sharia.
• Lack of comprehensive legislation for Violence Against
Women
• Shortage of sex-disaggregated data, and gender-
responsive planning and budgeting.
• Vulnerable civil society with constrained ability to
advocate and provide meaningful support to women at a
large scale.
Arab women priorities in time of political
transitions were calling for
“Dignity, Social Justice, Freedom, Equality”
but were faced mostly with
conservative backlash seeing their rightful gains
and freedoms threatened;
Women Demands in Transition
• First Demand: The Representation of Women
• Second Demand: International Conventions
• Third Demand: Economic and Social Rights
• Fourth Demand: Legislation
• Fifth Demand: The National Women Machinery

Gender Characteristics
Gender is a culture-specific construct : The widely
shared expectations and norms about appropriate male
and female being but across cultures there are
differences between women’s and men’s roles
Gender refers to the economic and social attributes
and opportunities associated with being male or female
in a particular social setting at a particular point in
time.
Talking about “social construction of
gender” refers to the socially prescribed
roles to women and men which often
determine their opportunities and
potential, needs and rights, access to
and control over resources.
Social Construction of Gender
Women’s Triple Role
• Productive Role
• Reproductive Role
• Community Role
Practical Gender Needs
• Practical gender needs are the concrete and practical needs women
and men have for survival and economic advancement, which do
not challenge the existing sexual division of labour, legal
inequalities, or other aspects of discrimination due to cultural and
social practices.
• Meeting practical gender needs in development programmes may
include the provision of services such as clean water, shelter and
health care, as well as income generating opportunities.
• If women are involved in decision making and training in new areas,
strategic interests may also be addressed through such practical
projects
Strategic Gender Interests
• Strategic gender interests refer to the relative status of women to
men. They seek to bring about greater equality between men and
women, and to eliminate various forms of sexual discrimination.
• Strategic interests may include legal rights, protection from
domestic violence, increased decision making and increasing
women’s control over their bodies.
• Practical needs and strategic interests are complementary. For
example, programmes that only target practical needs may not be
sustainable unless strategic interests are also taken into account.

What is Gender Equality?
Gender equality is defined in many different ways.
One way to approach this concept is by breaking it
down into five main components:
Rights
Opportunities
Value
Situation and outcome
Agency
Rights
Gender equality means that both men and women
should have the same rights, and be equal before
the law.
De jure,” or formal gender equality
Opportunities
While the provision of equal rights can establish “de
jure” (legal) equality between men and women,
true gender equality requires more than legal
guarantees. In order to ensure “de facto” (practical)
equality between men and women, these laws need
to be put into practice. Equality of opportunity
“de facto” (practical) gender equality
Value
Gender equality also means that men’s and women’s
contributions to the family, society, and community
should be valued equally, even though those
contributions may be different
Increasing the value of “women’s
work” will primarily require a shift in
attitude.
Situation and Outcome
If men and women have the same rights and
opportunities, they may not make the same
choices, and therefore it is wrong to expect that the
end result for men and women should be
the same
Barriers to gender equality of
situation are complex and often
hidden
Agency
Gender equality is something that men and women
can claim through their actions and voice.

Gender Equality
• Gender equality, centered in human rights, is
critical to achieving the Millennium Development
Goals (MDGs) and Sustainable Development
Goals (SDGs) of the Post MDG Agenda.
• By advancing gender equality and empowering
women as agents of change and leaders in the
development processes that shape their lives, a
more inclusive, sustainable and resilient world is
envisaged .
Gender Equality
• In addition to improving the lives of individual
women and girls, gender equality improves
the prospects of families, communities and
nations.
• When gender inequalities are reduced, more
children go to school, families are healthier,
agricultural productivity improves and
incomes increase.
Millennium Development Goals
(MDGs)
Goal 3
PROMOTE GENDER EQUALITY AND EMPOWER WOMEN
Target
• Eliminate gender disparity in primary and secondary education,
preferably by 2005, and in all levels of education no later than 2015
Indicators
Ratio of girls to boys in primary, secondary and tertiary education
(UNESCO)
Ratio of literate women to men, 15-24 years old (UNESCO)
Share of women in wage employment in the non-agricultural sector (ILO)
Proportion of seats held by women in national parliament (IPU)
Millennium Development Goals
(MDGs)
Results
• The world has achieved equality in primary education between girls
and boys, but few countries have achieved that target at all levels of
education.
• The political participation of women keeps increasing. In January
2014, in 46 countries more than 30 per cent of members of
parliament in at least one chamber were women.
• In many countries, gender inequality persists and women continue
to face discrimination in access to education, work and economic
assets, and participation in government. For example, in every
developing region, women tend to hold less secure jobs than men,
with fewer social benefits.
Millennium Development Goals
(MDGs)
Results
• Violence against women continues to
undermine efforts to reach all goals.
• Poverty is a major barrier to secondary
education, especially among older girls.
• Women are largely relegated to more
vulnerable forms of employment.

UNDP Gender Equality Strategy 2014-2017
Mission Statement
To contribute to the eradication of poverty and the
significant reduction of gender inequalities by
empowering women and promoting and protecting
their rights.
By advancing gender equality and empowering
women as agents of change and leaders in the
development processes that shape their lives,
UNDP envisages a more inclusive, sustainable and
resilient world.
UNDP focuses directly on gender equality and
women’s empowerment and also integrates it
into the organization’s three key thematic areas:
1- Sustainable development pathways;
2- Inclusive and effective governance systems;
3- Resilience building.
Sustainable Development Pathways
• The equal participation, rights and opportunities of women are essential to
eradicating poverty and promoting growth that is inclusive, equitable and
sustainable. Women, particularly poor and rural women whose lives are
inextricably tied to the environment, have valuable knowledge and experiences
and can be leaders in shaping inclusive national environmental policies.
Reduce or eliminate the barriers to women’s economic empowerment,
including by addressing women’s unpaid care and promoting women’s decent
work and equal access to credit and productive resources;
Support the integration of gender considerations in social protection
measures to enable women as well as men to participate in the economy;
Ensure gender-responsive governance of natural resource management; and,
Support efforts to increase women’s access to resources , ownership and
sustainable management of ecosystem goods and services, including through
climate finance.
Inclusive and Effective Governance
Systems
• For governance to be inclusive and effective, women must participate
equally in both processes and institutions and benefit equally from
services.
Promote women’s participation as voters and candidates and their
equal representation in constitutional committees, parliaments, public
administrations and the judiciary;
Strengthen women’s legal rights and access to justice;
Engage women equitably in the prioritization and provision of local
services, including health and security services;
Enhance national capacities to prevent and address sexual and
gender-based violence and provide support services and access to
justice for victims
Resilience Building
• Gender equality and women’s empowerment are integral to building resilient
societies and nations. Despite the devastation caused by crisis, post-crisis
rebuilding periods offer opportunities to create more inclusive governance
institutions and transform societies, including by advancing gender equality and
women’s empowerment.
Promote women’s equal participation and leadership in conflict prevention,
mitigation, mediation and peace building;
Ensure women’s equal participation in decision-making processes on climate
adaptation, mitigation and disaster risk reduction;
Mainstream gender equality and women’s empowerment in disaster and climate
risk reduction policies and plans; and
Ensure that women benefit equally from local development, employment
creation, front-line service delivery and reintegration programmes in post-
conflict and post-disaster situations.
UNDP RBAS Results are focused on
1. Increasing women’s political representation
and participation
2. Expanding opportunities for women’s
involvement in constitution making
3. Strengthening women’s roles in peace and
security processes
4. Championing Gender responsive resilience-
based development
5. Enhancing Employment opportunities ,
Livelihoods of the poor women and the
excluded

Persistence of Gender-Based Violence 4. Discriminatory institutional and legislative frameworks (Laws, Policies ,Practices)
  • 14. 1: Lower control of social, economic and political resources and opportunities • Women in the Arab Region are living under conflict, protracted conflict, political transition, or structural reform with challenging political, social, economic and legal conditions, affecting them more than men. • The uprising of strong conservative currents. • Women have limited employment opportunities as well as limited control over resources due to lack of access to land, credit, networks, marketing and information. • The majority of working-age women are active in unpaid care work, the agriculture sector, or the informal sector.
  • 15. 2: Cultural and social reproduction of women and girls’subordinate status • Gender-based inequalities and discrimination rooted in society, linked to norms, traditional practices, and long-standing values. • Prevalence of stereotypical images of obedient, emotional and dependent women, and attitudes of patriarchy, hamper women from realizing their full potential. • Women's lack of control over their own bodies, and limited access to information related to sexual and reproductive health.
  • 16. 3: Gender-based violence • Sexual and gender-based violence in both private and public spaces continues. • Harmful traditional practices limit women’s choices and control over their own bodies: • Female genital mutilation/cutting • Early marriage • Limited access to education. • Sons Preference

  • 18. 4: Discriminatory institutional and legislative frameworks • Gender-blind policies and procedures influenced by narrow interpretations of Islamic Sharia. • Lack of comprehensive legislation for Violence Against Women • Shortage of sex-disaggregated data, and gender- responsive planning and budgeting. • Vulnerable civil society with constrained ability to advocate and provide meaningful support to women at a large scale.
  • 19. Arab women priorities in time of political transitions were calling for “Dignity, Social Justice, Freedom, Equality” but were faced mostly with conservative backlash seeing their rightful gains and freedoms threatened;
  • 20. Women Demands in Transition • First Demand: The Representation of Women • Second Demand: International Conventions • Third Demand: Economic and Social Rights • Fourth Demand: Legislation • Fifth Demand: The National Women Machinery • Sixth Demand: Media and Women
  • 25. + GENDER SENSITIVE AND TRANSFORMATIVE Empowerment
  • 26. WID and GAD Approaches: The paradigm shift
  • 27. Gender Characteristics Gender is a culture-specific construct : The widely shared expectations and norms about appropriate male and female being but across cultures there are differences between women’s and men’s roles Gender refers to the economic and social attributes and opportunities associated with being male or female in a particular social setting at a particular point in time.
  • 28. Talking about “social construction of gender” refers to the socially prescribed roles to women and men which often determine their opportunities and potential, needs and rights, access to and control over resources. Social Construction of Gender
  • 29. Women’s Triple Role • Productive Role • Reproductive Role • Community Role
  • 30. Practical Gender Needs • Practical gender needs are the concrete and practical needs women and men have for survival and economic advancement, which do not challenge the existing sexual division of labour, legal inequalities, or other aspects of discrimination due to cultural and social practices. • Meeting practical gender needs in development programmes may include the provision of services such as clean water, shelter and health care, as well as income generating opportunities. • If women are involved in decision making and training in new areas, strategic interests may also be addressed through such practical projects
  • 31. Strategic Gender Interests • Strategic gender interests refer to the relative status of women to men. They seek to bring about greater equality between men and women, and to eliminate various forms of sexual discrimination. • Strategic interests may include legal rights, protection from domestic violence, increased decision making and increasing women’s control over their bodies. • Practical needs and strategic interests are complementary. For example, programmes that only target practical needs may not be sustainable unless strategic interests are also taken into account.

  • 35. What is Gender Equality? Gender equality is defined in many different ways. One way to approach this concept is by breaking it down into five main components: Rights Opportunities Value Situation and outcome Agency
  • 36. Rights Gender equality means that both men and women should have the same rights, and be equal before the law. De jure,” or formal gender equality
  • 37. Opportunities While the provision of equal rights can establish “de jure” (legal) equality between men and women, true gender equality requires more than legal guarantees. In order to ensure “de facto” (practical) equality between men and women, these laws need to be put into practice. Equality of opportunity “de facto” (practical) gender equality
  • 38. Value Gender equality also means that men’s and women’s contributions to the family, society, and community should be valued equally, even though those contributions may be different Increasing the value of “women’s work” will primarily require a shift in attitude.
  • 39. Situation and Outcome If men and women have the same rights and opportunities, they may not make the same choices, and therefore it is wrong to expect that the end result for men and women should be the same Barriers to gender equality of situation are complex and often hidden
  • 40. Agency Gender equality is something that men and women can claim through their actions and voice.

  • 42. Gender Equality • Gender equality, centered in human rights, is critical to achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the Post MDG Agenda. • By advancing gender equality and empowering women as agents of change and leaders in the development processes that shape their lives, a more inclusive, sustainable and resilient world is envisaged .
  • 43. Gender Equality • In addition to improving the lives of individual women and girls, gender equality improves the prospects of families, communities and nations. • When gender inequalities are reduced, more children go to school, families are healthier, agricultural productivity improves and incomes increase.
  • 44. Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) Goal 3 PROMOTE GENDER EQUALITY AND EMPOWER WOMEN Target • Eliminate gender disparity in primary and secondary education, preferably by 2005, and in all levels of education no later than 2015 Indicators Ratio of girls to boys in primary, secondary and tertiary education (UNESCO) Ratio of literate women to men, 15-24 years old (UNESCO) Share of women in wage employment in the non-agricultural sector (ILO) Proportion of seats held by women in national parliament (IPU)
  • 45. Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) Results • The world has achieved equality in primary education between girls and boys, but few countries have achieved that target at all levels of education. • The political participation of women keeps increasing. In January 2014, in 46 countries more than 30 per cent of members of parliament in at least one chamber were women. • In many countries, gender inequality persists and women continue to face discrimination in access to education, work and economic assets, and participation in government. For example, in every developing region, women tend to hold less secure jobs than men, with fewer social benefits.
  • 46. Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) Results • Violence against women continues to undermine efforts to reach all goals. • Poverty is a major barrier to secondary education, especially among older girls. • Women are largely relegated to more vulnerable forms of employment.
  • 47. Sustainable Development Goals • Goal 5 - Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls Targets 5.1 End all forms of discrimination against all women and girls everywhere 5.2 Eliminate all forms of violence against all women and girls in the public and private spheres, including trafficking and sexual and other types of exploitation 5.3 Eliminate all harmful practices, such as child, early and forced marriage and female genital mutilation

  • 57. UNDP Gender Equality Strategy 2014-2017 Mission Statement To contribute to the eradication of poverty and the significant reduction of gender inequalities by empowering women and promoting and protecting their rights. By advancing gender equality and empowering women as agents of change and leaders in the development processes that shape their lives, UNDP envisages a more inclusive, sustainable and resilient world.
  • 58. UNDP focuses directly on gender equality and women’s empowerment and also integrates it into the organization’s three key thematic areas: 1- Sustainable development pathways; 2- Inclusive and effective governance systems; 3- Resilience building.
  • 59. Sustainable Development Pathways • The equal participation, rights and opportunities of women are essential to eradicating poverty and promoting growth that is inclusive, equitable and sustainable. Women, particularly poor and rural women whose lives are inextricably tied to the environment, have valuable knowledge and experiences and can be leaders in shaping inclusive national environmental policies. Reduce or eliminate the barriers to women’s economic empowerment, including by addressing women’s unpaid care and promoting women’s decent work and equal access to credit and productive resources; Support the integration of gender considerations in social protection measures to enable women as well as men to participate in the economy; Ensure gender-responsive governance of natural resource management; and, Support efforts to increase women’s access to resources , ownership and sustainable management of ecosystem goods and services, including through climate finance.
  • 60. Inclusive and Effective Governance Systems • For governance to be inclusive and effective, women must participate equally in both processes and institutions and benefit equally from services. Promote women’s participation as voters and candidates and their equal representation in constitutional committees, parliaments, public administrations and the judiciary; Strengthen women’s legal rights and access to justice; Engage women equitably in the prioritization and provision of local services, including health and security services; Enhance national capacities to prevent and address sexual and gender-based violence and provide support services and access to justice for victims
  • 61. Resilience Building • Gender equality and women’s empowerment are integral to building resilient societies and nations. Despite the devastation caused by crisis, post-crisis rebuilding periods offer opportunities to create more inclusive governance institutions and transform societies, including by advancing gender equality and women’s empowerment. Promote women’s equal participation and leadership in conflict prevention, mitigation, mediation and peace building; Ensure women’s equal participation in decision-making processes on climate adaptation, mitigation and disaster risk reduction; Mainstream gender equality and women’s empowerment in disaster and climate risk reduction policies and plans; and Ensure that women benefit equally from local development, employment creation, front-line service delivery and reintegration programmes in post- conflict and post-disaster situations.
