Unleashing Women’s Economic Rights for Equal and Sustainable Societies: Multidisciplinary Perspectives from the Global South

The volume Unleashing Women’s Economic Rights for Equal and Sustainable Societies: Multidisciplinary Perspectives from the Global South is a timely and essential contribution to the ongoing discourse on gender equality and inclusive development. It examines the persistent barriers that hinder women’s economic participation and decision-making power, addressing a critical issue that has often been overlooked in global development discussions.Across the MENA region and the broader Global South, women continue to encounter systemic challenges in accessing economic opportunities, resources, and leadership roles. Despite legislative frameworks and policy initiatives designed to promote women’s economic empowerment, significant disparities persist. In Morocco, for instance, women hold only 16.2% of leadership positions in companies and face alarmingly high rates of unemployment and economic inactivity.This volume scrutinizes the intricate web of factors sustaining women’s economic marginalization, analyzing the influence of international laws, religious interpretations, social representations, and gender perspectives. By bringing together diverse disciplinary insights, the contributors provide a comprehensive understanding of these challenges and propose innovative strategies to unlock women’s economic potential.
