On Thursday, February 3rd we skyped with our colleague Raya Abu Gulal in Abu Dhabi to discuss potential research topics for this project.
Here are some of the topics we discussed:
(1) Egypt - Sexual harassment has been a major problem in the past years. Research laws that protect women from sexual harassment in the schools, workplace, or public.
(2) Israel –Research marriage laws or regulations. Are there civil marriage laws? Or, research domestic violence laws.
(3) Iraq – Human trafficking of women for various purposes. Research the laws and regulations that protect them.
(4) Jordan – Domestic Violence against women and the increase of honor killings. Are there any protection granted to women?
(5) Tunisia - Family law and the protection of women in the event of marriage, divorce, or parental custody disputes.
(6) United Arab Emirates – The lack of laws to protect victims of rape or the difficulties in seeking punishment for those who carry out these crimes.
The students will submit their research topic and country preference on Tuesday, February 6th.
