Egypt has become the first country to launch its own National Strategy for the Empowerment of Women 2030 in line with the UN’s sustainable development goals adopted by President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi in 2017 President of the National Council for Women Maya Morsy announced.
This national strategy involves four main dimensions, she said, and reviews the achievements made as part of it.
Morsy reviewed Egypt’s efforts in the field of women’s empowerment, stressing that it has made remarkable progress in this area as well as gender equality during the past six years.
This is thanks to the state’s political will which translated women’s constitutional rights into laws, strategies and executive programs.
The National Council for Women is the national mechanism concerned with the development of women in all fields, Morsy said, explaining the council’s formation and the most important programmes, activities and projects it offers to empower women.
