Egyptians’ Perceptions regarding women rights
The latest update of the Egypt National Observatory for Women shows some improvements over the last 5 years in women’s economic participation and employment, women’s financial inclusion, and political participation. However, this participation is still limited and achieving more improvements needs a social consensus about women rights and the importance of supporting women to have access and practice these rights.
This paper aims at exploring the perceptions of Egyptians regarding women economic rights. This includes rights to work, rights to establish private enterprises, rights to make decisions regarding using her income, rights to have her own bank accounts and inheritance rights.
