With the lack of studies dealing with post-menopausal women and their psychological and social transformations in various domains, the Center of Arab Women for Training and Research, with the support of UN/WOMEN, has decided to shed light on this age group, the impact of women’s reproductive role on their identity, on the evolution of the menopause phase, and women’s experience with gender based violence during their life cycle. The study was achieved through field surveys in three Arab countries, Bahrain, Egypt and Yemen, on random sample groups made up of 108 women and 36 teenage girls evenly distributed over the three countries.
CAWTAR has just published a training manual focusing on violence against women. Prepared by Palestinian, Egyptian, Moroccan, Jordanian, Tunisian and Lebanese experts, this work aims to create a reference basis for training in the subject.
The objective of this Situation Analysis Report is to give an overview of, and provide a baseline for the situation of gender-based violence (GBV) in Lebanon through the prisms of gender equality and human rights of women throughout the life cycle.
Published in December 2010, The Catalogue includes 173 posters (56 were collected in the framework of the competition and 117 were produced by institutions), and covered 13 Arab countries : Jordan, Bahrain, Tunisia, Algeria, Sudan, Syria, Iraq, Palestine, Lebanon, Libya, Egypt, Morocco and Yemen.
The directory provides all necessary information in Arabic, French and English, and includes various data about 415 governmental and non-governmental institutions, international and regional organizations and networks working in the field of anti-gender-based violence.
This compendium includes best practices in projects and initiatives that addressed discriminatory social beliefs and practices that hinder gender equality in Arabic-speaking Middle East and North Africa.
The workbook is a practical guide for the implementation of successful programs and experiences in addressing discriminatory social practices and beliefs that hinder gender equality in the Middle East and North Africa.
