Short Summary
|
This is a collective online publication by leading women activists, academics and writers in the Middle East and South Asia. It depicts their reactions to the wars and the increasing militarism in the Middle East, and their analysis of its impact on women activists' efforts to promote gender equality, human rights and democracy. The attack on Lebanon -called the July war- has quickly disappeared from the international public agenda. Yet women and human rights activists in the region are still struggling with its long term impacts, as well as with the ongoing violence and militarism, such as increasing right wing conservative ideologies, religious fundamentalisms and the spaces for human rights and democracy which seem to be shrinking. The publication is compiled by The Coalition for Sexual and Bodily Rights in Muslim Societies, a bi-regional network of academicians and NGOs working toward the promotion of sexual and bodily rights in Muslim societies.
