Gender inequality is one of the most persistent human rights violations of our time. Despite many years of promoting gender equity, inequalities among women/girls and men/boys continue to manifest in egregious ways around the world. Despite great strides made by the international women’s rights movement over many years, women and girls around the world are still married as children, experiencing d
omestic violence, sexual harassment, deprived from education and discriminated when it comes to workplace. They are also refused access to education and political participation. It is the time to capitalize on the recognition that women’s empowerment is essential for inclusive economic growth, social cohesion and social justice, environmental balance, and for progress in all spheres of life. This is not only for women, but men and boys need to be part of the global movement to promote women’s rights both as advocates and stakeholders, who need to change to make gender equity a reality for all. We aim to most raise awareness among Egyptians, inspire and empower them to take action against gender-based discrimination.
