Abstract
The Arab Spring or, as some call it, Arab Awakening, started in December 2010. The reasons for
the Arab Spring were numerous and diverse. For some time, sections of Arab societies have
confronted the suppression of free discourse, human rights abuse monetary mismanagement,
corruption and stifling of political disagreement.
As endless broadcast scenes from the Arab Spring affirmed, many women were on the barricades
during the uprisings.
