Gender and Violence in the Middle East
This book explores the relationship between Islamism, secularism and violence against women in the Middle East and North Africa. Drawing on case studies from across the region, the authors examine the historical, cultural, religious, social, legal and political factors affecting this key issue.
Chapters by established scholars from within and outside the region highlight:
the interconnections of violence and various sources of power in the Middle East: the state, society, and the family
conceptions of violence as family and social practice and dominant discourse
the role of violence as pattern for social structuring in the nation state.
By centring the chapters around these key areas, the volume provides an innovative theoretical and systematic research model for gender and violence in the Middle East and North Africa. Dealing with issues that are not easily accessible in the West, this book underlines the importance of understanding realities and problems relevant to Muslim and Arab societies and discusses possible ways of promoting reforms in the MENA region. As such it will be of great interest to students and scholars of gender studies, sociology, political science and criminal justice.

Emerging Amazigh Feminist Nongovernmental Organizations
Amazigh feminist nongovernmental organizations (NGO) emerged in the new century. They address, among other matters, language, identity, and ruralness issues that were sidelined by the mainstream Moroccan feminist movement. After the 20 February Movement (the Moroccan version of the Arab Spring) appeared, these NGOs considerably increased in number and steadily developed a public voice with a clear mission. Although they all promote the Amazigh language and culture, Amazigh feminist NGOs are divided by geographic location, class, ability to interact with larger feminist and human rights NGOs and other organizations, ability to raise funds, and proximity to the makhzan. These NGOs organize seminars and workshops about associational work, and they lobby, network, and demand social change. They may partner with specific ministries to implement educational projects. They present plays and concerts and convene sporting activities, local fashion shows, gastronomy contests, and activities for children.

The Central Role of the Family Law in the Moroccan Feminist Movement
Ever since its inception in the mid-forties of the last century, the Moroccan feminist movement has evolved around the family law Code. The post-independence family law denied women basic rights and thus fueled the disappointment and anger of the female intellectual elite (journalists, writers, politicians and activists). Legal rights have always constituted a priority in Moroccan women's struggle for dignity in and outside the home. These rights became central with women's increasing access to education and the job market. Today, women's legal rights are associated with democratization and political openness. This paper addresses these issues and underlines the impact of the family law in generating and accelerating feminist ideas in Morocco.
