Open publisher page 4 citations

Abstract

The relationship between women's rights and democracy and democratization is examined, along with the gendered nature of pro‐democracy movements. A summary of the structural and cultural factors and forces that underpin pro‐democracy movements, and those that may predict whether or not outcomes will be compatible with women's equality and rights, is presented. References are made to various democracy movements and democratic transitions, including the Arab Spring.
