On the UNDP website I found an article on the human development reports on Arabs. This specific article presented the rise of women in the Arab world.
In this article it states that there has been some significant achievements in the advancement of women in Arab countries. In the Arab human development reports the main objectives do, however, require further effort. Before the women's advancement can be complete they must first "enable the equitable aquisition and utilization of human capabilities and the exersize of human rights." The status of women in these societies is often problematic in most if not all aspects. Including cultural, social, economic, and other political factors.
Social reform, as described in this article, was shooting to enable the rise of women. This is to aid in the elimination of discrimination. The convention on the elimination of all forms of discrimination against women (CEDAW) is described in this article as a main need. This describes the wings of a bird which symbolizes the rise of women in arab communities. The CEDAW being one of these much needed wings and the other wing would be a movement in Arab civil society which would be both effective and wide-ranging. This wing engages both men and women supporters. It would empower women along with the society and also consolidate societal reform initiatives.
The report in this article calls for the adoption of time-bound affirmative action. This of course is tailored to the specifics of each Arab society. This is needed for the expansion of participationof women in all aspects of human activity.
"This is considered imperative to dismantle the structures of centuries of discrimination."
"Arab women have managed to attain outstanding achievments indiverse fields of human activity."
