Discover how feminist economics sheds new light on WANA today. This volume exposes the hidden costs of neoliberalism, war, and inequality in Egypt, Morocco, Libya, Jordan, Yemen, Palestine and Tunesia. It highlights women’s unpaid labor and intersectional oppression, while offering transformative ideas for a more just and inclusive future. This volume examines how economic, social, and political systems in WANA are deeply interconnected and reinforce structural inequalities. It explores conflict, environmental crises, and migration through a feminist lens. Drawing on case studies across the region, it offers strategies for inclusive policymaking, social resilience, and more equitable economic development.
