Employment, Entrepreneurship and Young Women Leaders

摘要

More than two years have passed since the Arab uprisings started in Tunisia and spread to other countries. In that time, the Arab world has experienced an extraordinary transition, the impact of which will be immeasurable for decades, if not generations, to come. Many Middle East and North Africa (MENA) countries are still undergoing profound transformation, with young Arabs continuing to demonstrate for inclusive, transparent government and extended social and economic freedoms grounded in equalityand opportunity for all citizens. From the beginning, yourTg men and women have led the movement for change, calling for an end to complex economic, social and legal constraints, and the cultural norms that have inhibited the ability of women and youth in the Arab world to engage fully in the public sphere.* Chairwoman, Arab International Women's Forum
