Abstract
Algeria has been open to the conversation of the reformation of discriminatory laws over the years. However, despite these efforts, women in Algeria are still treated as second-class citizens. Since the reevaluation of discriminatory laws, women have received more rights and their participation in public life has increased in the country, but it is important to understand that this growth has not been so life-changing. In order to better understand the current circumstances in which Algerian women are living, this study aims to gather data relating to general laws and regulations that directly affect women, statistics in education to understand women's standings, political representation of women in the country, healthcare and family life.
