By considering that woman is an essential and crucial component of the communities' prosperity, different international organizations have adopted the principle of women's empowerment as a key objective in their programs. As an example, the United Nations Development Program has developed a program that encourages the empowerment of women in decision-making at all levels ranging from houses through to the government. In this context, the issue of this paper is determined by asking the question about the contribution of economic empowerment of women as an input to enhance its role in crises that afflict the Arab societies?
