POWERED BY BASEERA
An independent mechanism launched in 2017 to monitor the National Strategy for Egyptian Women 2030, ensuring transparency and impartiality in development efforts.
The national duty and responsibility before history necessitate that we accelerate the pace of women's empowerment, preserving their rights and placing them in the position that befits their value, capabilities, and sacrifices throughout history, in commitment to the Egyptian Constitution which expresses the will of the Egyptian people and has established the values of justice and equality, and in implementation of the principles of equal opportunities and the rights it has guaranteed for women, and in line with Egypt's Vision 2030 and its sustainable development strategy that seeks to build a just society, ensuring equal rights and opportunities for its sons and daughters for the highest levels of social integration for all groups, and out of the Egyptian state's belief that stability and progress will only be achieved through ensuring effective participation of women in all aspects of national work.

BaseeraThe Women Economic Empowerment report outlines the factors contributing to the persistently low economic participation of Egyptian women and to identify “gender smart” policies and solutions to boost economic growth while at the same time, narrowing relevant gender gaps. The study provides the context of women’s share of the public space as reflected in their access to education, health, social protection, and decent work opportunities. It provides qualitative insights into women’s perceptions regarding working conditions and challenges, including the reconciliation between work and marriage, and the relation between household responsibilities, earnings, and the dynamics of decision making in the household.
BaseeraThe National Strategy for the Empowerment of Egyptian Women 2030 included four pillars: Political empowerment, economic empowerment, social empowerment, and protection. The strategy aims at increasing women’s agency so that they can make informed choices, as well as addressing discriminatory practices and cultural stereotypes that harm women and are obstacles to their effective economic participation, and empowerment. Enhancing women’s economic participation is seen as contributing to GDP growth, and to realizing the goals of the economic pillar of Egypt’s Vision 2030. The strategy’s aim is to achieve women’s economic empowerment through capacity development, equal employment opportunities in all areas, including the private sector, entrepreneurship, and key posts in public entities and companies. The strategy adopts a set of interventions including “ensuring women’s access to information and communications technology.”
BaseeraRural women play an important role in achieving sustainable development as they are key agents in economic, environmental and social changes in developed and developing countries, accordingly, the United Nations declared the 15th of October to be the international day for rural women in 2008. Rural women have essential role in food security as they are active in crop production, livestock care, and provision of food, water and fuel for their families and engage in off-farm activities in addition to their role in house care for children and old people. Quality of life, education and training, economic participation opportunities, financial inclusion opportunities, and familiarity with technology affect the capabilities of rural women to act as change agents and lead the development in their local communities. This paper aims at exploring the status of the above mentioned factors among rural women.
