“Other Arab countries experienced protests as well..” (1st paragraph, last sentence)
“Women's involvement in the Arab Spring went beyond direct participation in the protests to include leading and organizing protests and cyber activism.” (2nd paragraph, 1st sentence)
“In a 2012 World Bank Report, they highlighted how greater access to economic resources can increase women’s agency. As the economies of countries in the MENA region have suffered, slowing due to the Arab Spring, then so could the advancement of women's rights.” (last paragraph, second to last sentence)
Potential new section: Recovery from Conflict

I've posted the first part of this new article as part of my Poverty, Gender and Human Development course at Rice University and I would appreciate any feedback on my work thus far. As you can see, I haven't written the "After the protests" section. I will post it soon, hopefully within the next week.
I would really appreciate any feedback, particularly about whether I'm missing any important aspects of the topic or have any misleading/inaccurate information. I would also appreciate any information about the role women have played in Syria- that is the country about which I found the least female-specific information. Thanks!

After spending this morning trudging through Arabic Wikipedia on my slow Internet connection, I have become convinced that there is very little of value there. There is no specific article for women in the Arab Spring, and even some of the heroines listed here only have articles about them on English Wikipedia, not the Wikipedia of their native language. In all cases, articles were either much less substantial in the Arabic versions or simply non-existent. Having used and edited Arabic Wikipedia myself, I can only say that this isn't surprising at all; I'll stop here to avoid going on a rant. Unless I really missed something, we need to continue relying on English language media only; there's very little on the Arabic language, unfortunately. MezzoMezzo ( talk) 12:09, 24 March 2013 (UTC)
Nadhika99, “Women in the Arab Spring” is very well done. I have thoroughly enjoyed learning more about the issue while reading this article.
I have just a few comments and advice for further edits:
The article is overall very well thought-out and definitely a much needed contribution to Wikipedia. Excellent job so far!

I plan to add several new pieces of information to the "After the protests" section. I am linking a copy of my plan here. If there are any suggestions for things I would need to add or change, please let me know. BlueWaterloo72 ( talk) 01:46, 17 October 2017 (UTC)
Nadhika99, great job so far! I think you've done a fantastic job with this article. Here are a few of my comments and suggestions:
Overall, fantastic work! Congratulations on the "Did you know" hook as well! Twoods158 ( talk) 01:55, 6 April 2013 (UTC)
I just wanted to announce that I put some information under the "After the protests" section, adding on to the Saudi Arabian women topic. If you all had any more to add or some tips on what else would need some editing, I would definitely appreciate it and am willing to help. BlueWaterloo72 ( talk) 01:16, 26 September 2017 (UTC)
I have made some grammatical changes that included adding commas, taking out some unnecessary words, and capitalizing words that were not already so. BlueWaterloo72 ( talk) 03:52, 29 September 2017 (UTC)

This article is missing some key "Female Activists and Leaders" who were involved. I would expand on influential women in Yemen and Libya since there are only one or two women mentioned in these categories, as well as rights in Morocco and Egypt. Also, I would expand on these other countries and their protests in which women were leaders. Talking about government backlash against the women, or other struggles as well as the support behind being a female activist on this topic.
Here are some reliable sources I will be utilizing to make these additions possible. Bibliography:

This page has obviously had a lot of time and work put into it. Amazing job! However, here are a few of my suggestions within "Female Leaders and Activists: -Citations needed for Nazeeha Saeed -Citation needed for Nedal Alsalman -Link Nabeel Rajab -Rework wording in Aliaa Magda Elmahdy case to make it flow better (especially last two sentences). Overall, this work seems to be really solid, well researched and lacks bias and fringe views. Cassitymega ( talk) 18:32, 2 March 2020 (UTC)
Hello Wiki Friends, Possible information that can be added under Salwa Bugaighis is about her death and why it happend. Salwa Bugaighis - Passed at age 50 on June 25, 2014. She was attached in her home (Benghazi) by an unknown attacker. She was a supporter in the 2011 Libyan uprising against the four-decade rule of Muammar al-Qaddaffi which later led to the death of Qaddafi. Bugaighis was involved with the National Transitional Council.

Add Section: After the protests On the last line it states that the Saudi Arabia government is how allowing women to have the right to drive as of June 2018.
I would like to include details about what women need to do to be able to drive. Will it be different for men and women? Also what else has happened in 2016-2017. Garc liz ( talk) 22:54, 3 October 2017 (UTC)
