The speakers said that women have the power to create, nurture and transform societies and their role cannot be ignored. They said that one of the most important aspects in the Arab Spring, which has attracted the attention of the world, is the presence of a large number of Muslim women wearing Hijab. \"The unparalleled resistance and meaningful presence of Muslim women is to be considered one of the underlying causes of the continuation of the Arab Spring,\" said a speaker. \"It is worth emphasizing that the revival of the status of women and their role in Muslim societies is promising and shall bring about progress,\" she added. The speakers agreed that the essential solution for Muslim women today is their purposeful presence in different political and sociocultural areas.
