title = "Qatari Women, Family, and Workplace: Navigating the Domestic-Public Divide",
abstract = "This chapter examines how Qatar{\textquoteright}s quest for gender equality, a core goal of the Qatar National Vision 2030 (Government Communication Office. https://www.gco.gov.qa/en/about-qatar/national-vision2030/), has influenced Qatari women's participation in the labor force. Despite their academic qualifications and government initiatives, Qatari women stay underrepresented in mainstream jobs and leadership positions. Using a feminist geographic perspective, the chapter explores how patriarchy contributes to this imbalance. The concept of “gendered space” is analyzed as a key barrier while analyzing the factors like family expectations and societal norms that limit women{\textquoteright}s roles. The chapter also investigates how Qatari women navigate these challenges by bargaining with patriarchy.",
