Global attention continues to focus on women actively engaging in entrepreneurial pursuits. Despite evident progress, women across every continent still lag men in terms of company ownership and economic independence. This paper will examine research on women opting for entrepreneurial careers in the MENA region. It will delve into the motivations, career trajectories, attitudes, and behaviors of these women entrepreneurs. Additionally, the paper will explore persisting challenges and the policies that contribute to limiting the prevalence and size of women-owned businesses in this region. The subsequent sections will scrutinize the laws and practices both supporting and hindering women's entrepreneurship. The paper will conclude with recommendations for rephrasing the issues and advocating for legal changes
