Gender inequality remains an important issue worldwide, this article focuses specifically on Qatar. Gender inequality plays a major role in restricting women’s lives in several aspects. These restrictions are legally and structurally enabled and justified in the name of customs and culture. Based on recent research, the current laws in Qatar do not protect women as equal citizens. In order for women to feel protected in their own country, there is a need for law reforms including those on gender violence, that require urgent action.
