On the occasion of International Women’s Day, FIDH launched a report: Women and the Arab Spring: Taking their place?
The publication analyses the role of women in protests, revolutions and transitions in 8 countries : Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Syria, Bahrain, Yemen, Morocco and Algeria and proposes
Although the situation of women varies across the region, threats to their human rights converge. In countries in transition, women are confronting attempts to exclude them from public life.

Recent actions of the Campaign
In 2009, FIDH and 4 regional organisations launched a campaign for women’s rights in Africa. The campaign links over 100 human rights and women’s rights organisations in 40 countries across the continent, working together to push governements to ratify key women’s rights protection instruments and to respect them in law and practice. While some progress has been achieved, FIDH and its partners continues to strengthen mobilisation so that national governments and parlaments take concrete steps to eliminate discrimination and violence against women.
