Abstract
This report integrates insights from both the pre-meeting consultation and the Strategy Sessions in advance of the conference (2012) “Transforming Economic Power to Advance Women’s Rights and Justice.” In order to elucidate the context of the struggle for women’s rights in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) and articulate key strategies that have been effectively used, need to be developed, or could be leveraged during diverse transitions to democracy, activists and scholars shared case studies of women’s rights status, progress, limitations, and key areas of strategizing during democratic transitions.
