Gender inequality has been much researched in the existing literature review in the last few decades. On the one hand, women are much freed from some gendered barriers that limit their educational, job and personal welfare opportunities at different levels. On the other hand, empowerment for women worldwide has been a ‘stalled revolution’ in which they are constrained in gender stereotypes that require them to play the critical role within the home.

Gender inequality prevails in “real life,” within the political, social and economic arenas in the Arab world. This is apparent in the Arab region’s low rankings in terms of gender parity within the political empowerment and economic participation pillars of various women’s empowerment indices, as well as in regional and international reports such as the Arab Human Development Reports.

Perhaps the most important finding of this research is the shared view of social media as a tool for women’s empowerment. The majority of respondents felt that social media had the potential to be an empowering and engaging tool for women, whether in social, economic, legal, political or civic arenas. These perceptions contrast with the reality of gender inequalities that persist in the Arab region when it comes to these domains. In that sense, social media can potentially be a “change agent” towards women’s empowerment in Arab societies.

Social media is increasingly viewed as an important tool for women’s empowerment in the Arab region. Indeed, the Arab Social Media Report regional survey findings show that many of the responses of male and female social media users were similar, indicating that social media may be a “gender equalizer.” The existing gap in Arab women’s usage of social media compared to men and to the global average is primarily a result of perceived societal and cultural constraints Arab women continue to face in the region. The key conclusions of the regional survey findings are as follows:...

To promote economic development and attain the MDGs—especially the overarching poverty reduction MDG and the gender equality MDG—the global community must renew its attention to women’s economic empowerment and increase investments in women. 6 Gains in women’s economic opportunities lag behind those in women’s capabilities. This is inefficient, since increased women’s labor force participation and earnings are associated with reduced poverty and faster growth; 7 women will benefit from their economic empowerment, but so too will men, children and society as a whole.

In addition to evidence that gender affects growth, evidence from the 2000/2001 World Development Report: Attacking Poverty shows that gender relations affect all aspects of poverty, including income, opportunity, security, and empowerment. 19 With regard to income poverty, in some countries, girls in poor families receive lower quality nutrition, less health care, and poorer education than their brothers. 20 Likewise, as noted above, female household mem- bers often have less access to and control over the household’s pro- ductive resources and income than do male family members.
