Women in north Africa in the post-Beijng phase realities and prospects

Abstract

This study is based, firstly, on field studies on the status of women in North Africa and secondly, on interpretations of the results of a survey carried out through a collective questionnaire compiled by the African Centre for Women among various governmental and non-governmental entities involved in women's advancement in the sub region. The study, and the suggestions made, also drew heavily on the meetings and work of the focus groups. We are very grateful to the actors on the ground and to the researchers who actively participated in this undertaking and facilitated the preparation of the study.
