PERSPECTIVE DEMOCRACY AND HUMAN RIGHTS THE CURRENT FACES OF ARAB FEMINISMS Micro-Rebels, Art Activists and Virtual Heroines Ibtesam Al Atiyat December 2020 A young generation of crea­tive, cyber-active and outspo­ken feminists is shaping the current scene of Arab civil society. Their creative cam­paigns have exposed social taboos and raised awareness about gender-based violence and biased laws. Despite their efficacy and sev­eral law-amendments passed in women’s favour, the inter­ests of rural, uneducated, poor or non-cis-hetero wom­en are still underrepresented within their discourse. Arab feminists must develop an intersectional critique of so­cieties and states by prioritising neoliberalism, occupation, war and displacement.
