It will analyze the main issues of struggle for women’s rights movements, the past and present of organizational structures, and forms of activism by reflecting especially on the cases of Egypt, Iran, Pakistan, and Tunisia. The discussion will provide comparative insights into contemporary challenges women’s activisms face in Muslim contexts as well as avenues for transnational feminist collaborations.
