NCW, in collaboration with UNDP, established the Women's Legal Rights
Project. It is a regional, European Union-funded project: (ICTDAR:
Information and Communications Technology Development in Arab Region),
covering Egypt, Lebanon and Tunisia that aims to provide a service to
retrieve legal information electronically through a database.
The information is presented in a simple format, using simple Arabic
language, in a question-answer format. It is offered on CD-ROMs, videotapes
and on the Internet. The purpose is to provide information and answers
women's queries on personal status issues (e.g. alimony, divorce, and child
custody) with the ultimate goal of simplifying litigation procedures. Access
to this service is provided in women's centers and women's clubs in various
ministries throughout the governorates, and through NGOs active in the field
of women's rights.
