History

Explanation:  Women of the Middle East and North Africa lag behind much of the world, and behind men in their region, in

areas such as their social and economic autonomy, labor force participation, political representation and

health. The paucity of accurate and comprehensive national data on these areas poses another problem that

makes it difficult to adequately evaluate the status of women in these countries. It also hinders the ability of

local NGOs and women’s groups in effectively influencing legislators and other policy makers and advocating

on behalf of women.

While the evaluation of the status of women in more developed countries would rely mainly on national

census-type data that is normally gathered by differently government agencies, the Status of Women in the

Middle East and North Africa (SWMENA) project fills the gap through survey research tools by employing

survey data as a proxy for the lacking national statistics.

Information on the status of women that is gathered by women, for women, and engages them in the

strategic process, can significantly empower women in these countries in bringing about new programs and

advances in their civic, economic, and domestic lives—especially when combined with capacity building

specifically addressing their ability to directly influence legislators and other policy makers.

The SWMENA project is a comparative study of the status of women in three Arab countries representing the

three sub-regions of the MENA region: Lebanon (the Levant), Morocco (North Africa) and Yemen (the Gulf).

While women in these countries may experience similar obstacles to their advancement, each country also

presents a different set of challenges for women.

The project goal is to improve women’s status through research and capacity building for advocacy by

encouraging different stakeholders working on women’s issues to use solid data in their advocacy efforts, so

as to have more credibility in their demands and build local data collection and analysis capacity.

The distinctive aspect of this project is that it engaged local NGOs and researchers on women’s issues in

identifying gaps in existing data and defining research and measurement concepts. Pre-survey meetings with

local women advocates and researchers revealed that health is one of the best-documented categories of

social indicators for women in the region. Domestic violence is probably one of the least measured but

anecdotally most widely reported phenomena across all three nations. The topics of highest importance

specific to Lebanon are the personal status laws and the proposed quota system. Moreover, Lebanese

researchers considered any data on the status of women to be highly desirable given the absence of an

official census in Lebanon since 1932. In Morocco, there has been a more consistent gathering of national

data by the Higher Planning Commission but opinion data was mostly lacking. Consequently, data on social

attitudes and opinions were higher on local researchers’ list.

Collection of new data was done through opinion surveys. Survey instruments included a core section that is

standard across the three countries and a distinct country module that dealt with country-specific gender

issues.

The SWMENA survey evaluates the status of women in four key areas: political and civic participation,

economic participation and well-being, social autonomy (access to education, role in household decisionmaking, control over household resources), and access to healthcare. The surveys also elicited opinions

towards different laws and rights, violence against women, and the role of women in society.

Explanation:

The Reformation of the Catholic Church which caused a split between the Catholics and Protestants in France led to the St. Bartholomew’s Day Massacre.

Which is an example of Peter the Great’s legacy?
DiKsa [7]
 <span> He modernized the country, importing western technology and ideas. He also turned it into European power, by defeating Sweden( a local superpower of that day) in the Great Northern War. Finally, he established royal authority over the church.
Other, minor reforms, included having the nobility shave their beards.Finally, and perhaps most famously,he built the city of Saint Petersburg, later Leningrad, now Saint Petersburg again.
On the negative side, he was a paranoid tyrant who solidified Czarist absolutism, but as Lenin later said, to make an omelette, one has to break a few eggs. </span>
