Egyptian women enjoy equal legal and constitutional rights as
men in all aspects of life. However, practical reality has led
the National Council for Women to initiate a programme that aims
at ensuring the adherence to the principles of the Constitution.
The goal of this programme is to establish mechanisms to monitor
the implementation of the principle of equal access to opportunities
within the constitutional bodies, under the direct supervision
of the Cabinet of Ministers.
These "Equal Opportunity watch" mechanisms in the different
ministries shall be in permanent contact with all the programmes
of the Council, including the "Ombudsman".
