Paper titles, journals/conferences for the products of GERPA research

After less than three years of operation, a number of the GERPA funded projects have been completed and some have been published in regional and international journals.  The research output represents the scientific evidence necessary for the change of women status in MENA.  The publication of the GERPA research is a first step towards the dissemination of the research output.
