Strengthening women’s leadership and participation in politics and decision-making in Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia Retour vers les projets

Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia are signatories to various multilateral and international agreements and declarations aiming at securing women’s rights and development. The three nations are strongly committed to gender equality, women’s rights and their political representation and participation at the national, regional and international levels, in which significant progress has been made.

Nonetheless, these efforts have not been able to put an end to the long-standing discrimination against women that excludes them from the various spheres of life, in part because family codes and social norms tamper the level of protection of these rights and women’s ability to participate in decision-making processes. The project “Strengthening women’s leadership and participation in politics and decision-making in Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia” came as a contribution of the national efforts, with the support of the Spanish cooperation and in partnership with the UNINSTRAW.
