| Title | The Role of Women's Movements in Democracy Building Processes in Egypt. The Grassroots Perspective. |
| Summary | The wind of change that arrived to the Middle East over a year ago and brought political transition is absolute extraordinary phenomena and marks a turning point in the history of the world. It is a special event also because for the very first time in the history of the Muslim world men and women stand together, arm by arm, fighting for what was right. The strong participation of women in the Egyptian revolution of January 25, which started to put an end to Mubarak’s regime, gives a significant insight for studying women’s social and political rights in the current transition. This thesis aimed to address the role of Egyptian women in the transition processes. It did so through the research that was be carried out at two levels. At a conceptual level, analytical work was based on a review of the relevant theoretical literature and analysis of UN Women (office in Cairo) reports on conducted projects. Critical reflection on relevant analytical approaches provided the basis for advancing thinking on women’s engagement with democracy building processes in Egypt. At a policy level, the research looked at the context in which women are engaged in political change in Egypt. |
