Women's Empowerment in Muslim Contexts (WEMC) project

In 2006, Dr Vivienne Wee, Associate Director of SEARC, began a five-year applied research project to discover and implement strategies through which women living in Muslim countries and communities might change inequitable patterns of dominance. The independent project is funded by the UK Government’s Department for International Development, with SEARC as the lead research partner and administrator of the Research Programme Consortium implementing the project. The project fits squarely within SEARC’s ‘State-society interface’ research theme. For more details on the WEMC project, click here.
