SWMENA.org, an interactive website that provides data on the status of women in the Middle East and North Africa, is now live.

SWMENA.org is the digital complement to the Status of Women in the Middle East and North Africa (SWMENA) project. SWMENA was launched in March 2008 to gain a better understanding of the challenges and opportunities for women in the region, while empowering local women's activists to use the collected data to advocate for change.

The website features all data collected through surveys between 2009 and 2010 concerning the social, political and economic status of women in Lebanon, Morocco and Yemen presented in three languages: English, Arabic and French.

The user-friendly site allows for data-comparison between countries, demographic filters and user-customization of data selections which can be exported into excel files. It also features over 100 infographics, topic briefs and reports as well as a blog and spotlight on SWMENA partners from across the region.

This one-of-a-kind resource offers women's advocates, academics and journalists the ability to customize data previously unavailable to the public for their specific needs in an easily accessible format.
