Women of the Arab Spring -- 2. Why the Arab Spring? -- 3. Women, honor, and sexual violence -- 4. Feminism and the Arab Spring -- Conclusion: final words - "Arab Spring" or "Arab Autumn"?The Arab Spring uprisings were not about gender; these were uprisings demanding rights for all. Yet, they presented a rare opportunity for women to let themselves be heard. And, from being some of the most memorable and lasting leaders of these revolutionary protests, female activists were particularly targeted by many regimes. In A Spring Aborted: How Authoritarianism Violates Women's Rights in the Arab World, leadership expert Yusuf Sidani tracks the contributions of female activists, the reasons for the Arab Spring, and the abuse these leaders suffered. Including analysis of protests across Sudan, Egypt, Syria, Yemen, and Tunisia, Sidani looks at the aims of the protests, and the impact, evaluating whether the changes brought about were deep enough to disrupt governance structures. Finally, Sidani explores how the Arab Spring has been hijacked. From deep divisions among the allies who shaped the Arab Spring, to sheer force and brutality, Sidani analyses the causes of the Spring's disintegration.Emerald points.AuthoritarianismSocial aspectsArab countriesWomen political activistsArab countriesArab Spring, 2010-Social aspectsPolitical SciencePolitical Ideologies / Fascism & TotalitarianismbisacshPolitical structures: totalitarianism & dictatorshipbicsscAuthoritarianismSocial aspectsWomen political activistsArab Spring, 2010-Social aspects.Political SciencePolitical Ideologies / Fascism & Totalitarianism.Political structures: totalitarianism & dictatorship.353.00825Sidani Yusuf1505407UtOrBLWUtOrBLWBOOK9910793884503321A spring aborted3734960UNINA
