Gender, sexuality and the criminal laws in the Middle East and North Africa: A comparative study

---

vGender, Sexuality and the Criminal Laws in the Middle East and North Africa: A Comparative Study provides an in-depth analysis of how legal systems across the MENA region regulate gender expression, sexual behavior, bodily autonomy, and reproductive rights. Through a comparative legal framework, the book examines provisions related to adultery, homosexuality, sex work, gender identity, sexual violence, and moral conduct, highlighting how these laws intersect with religious interpretations, political structures, and social norms. It also reveals the disparities in legal protection, the criminalization of marginalized groups, and the ways in which state power shapes intimate life. By combining legal analysis with case studies and human rights perspectives, the study underscores the urgent need for reforms that align domestic legislation with international human rights standards and protect individuals from discrimination and violence based on gender and sexuality.
