In: The world today, Band 67, Heft 8
ISSN: 0043-9134
As protests swept across the Arab world in recent months, women have been on the front lines of change.

The reconciliation of Islamist demands for the implementation of Sharia (Islamic law) with women's rights, and more broadly human rights, will be an important determinant of how democracy and law evolve in these countries. Adapted from the source document.
