Women in business in Qatar
We explore the challenges and opportunities facing Qatar's female entrepreneurs.
How easy is it for a woman to start and run a business in Qatar?
In the past few years, there have been changes to the constitution and laws which have made it easier for women to work and run businesses.
We ask whether that鈥檚 filtered down to 'street level' or whether cultural constraints still restrict women.
We visit a project in Doha where Qatari women have set up a business in a cultural centre, and Sheikha Mayes bint Hamad bin Mohamed bin Jabr al-Thani explains the important role women can play in Qatar's economy.
Rothna Begum, senior women's rights researcher at Human Rights Watch explains how things have changed for women in Qatar - and what barriers and challenges still remain.
