Women's Organisations in the West Asia Region: A Needs Assessment
11/01/2014
This needs assessment, conducted over the period of July-November 2013, outlines the capacity needs of women’s organisations and activists in the West Asia region in the face of continuing conflict following the revolutionary upheavals of 2011. Based on both primary and secondary research, Women Living Under Muslim Laws (WLUML) presents here some of the obstacles to the development of women’s organisations in ten countries in this region, as identified by participants in this study, and presents recommendations as to how it can help address these deficits in future programmes.
