Sexuality and Arab Women - Fall 2002- Issue 99

Vol. 26 (2002)

The file deals with sexuality, a subject that has traditionally been a strong taboo in the Arab world. Since Arab societies have generally favored a collective rather than a personal or subjective identity, the family is the paramount social institution where issues related to women’s sexuality continue to be under the control of a patriarchal society.
