- Title
Economic Freedom and Women's Emancipation in the MENA Region.
- Authors

- Abstract
The position of women in the Middle East and North Africa ( MENA) region is a complex topic, difficult to comprehend without allowing for socio-cultural norms, legal frameworks and the global gender context. In thinking about a practical framework for action, the free market perspective is relevant and necessary. However, this alone does not seem to provide a complete answer to the problem of promoting women's economic status. This article makes the case for the importance of market-friendly, but also gender-sensitive, policies to promote women's economic freedom and hence women's emancipation in the MENA region.
