Abstract
The number of Muslim women participating in political decision-making in the Middle East and Northern Africa (MENA) is on the rise. This brief explores how Islamists in Sudan have interpreted complementarity over time and shows the flexibility of Islamic interpretation for and against women in politics highlighting the importance of the political context.
