Arab Women Speak Out: Profiles of Self- Empowerment

From the document: "The Arab Women Speak Out project features stories of struggle, endurance, and achievement - stories of women who have drawn upon their own inner reserves and other resources to create new opportunities for themselves and for others. The women profiled have persevered in the face of limited educational and economic opportunities, inadequately met health needs, and minimal decision-making power at home and in the wider society. In many cases these women have devoted themselves to mitigating these obstacles within their own communities. In the process, they have gained experience and self-confidence and, increasingly, respect and recognition for their efforts. These women are unmistakably actors in their own right. They stand as compelling models of real-life achievement for women everywhere."
