Unleashing female entrepreneurs in the MENA
17th June 2020 | by Sana Afouaiz | @sanaafouaiz | One in three start-ups in the Middle East and North Africa region is founded or led by a woman, which is a much higher percentage than in Silicon Valley. Women in Arab countries make up for 34-57% of STEM graduates, a figure which is also much higher than in universities across Europe and the US. These facts might seem shocking to people who assume the MENA region is entirely male-dominated. However, it’s not entirely a success story.

Egypt - The IOM Regional Office for the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) has released its 2015 annual report.

Ongoing conflict, economic stagnation and political turmoil were main drivers of migration, although motives for movements remain complex. People move to, through and from the region for a variety of reasons.
