Monitoring Gender Pay Equality and Protecting Women in Labor Law

Personal Status Law

President el-Sisi emphasized that the Personal Status Law should be objective and balanced. The state seeks to address the social problems facing Egyptian families. This move is aimed at promoting social stability and ensuring that families are protected from conflict.

Family Fund

President el-Sisi also announced that the state will provide support for families who have lost their breadwinner through the Family Fund. This move is aimed at protecting families from poverty and ensuring that they have access to the resources they need to survive.

These decisions are crucial for the growth and development of Egypt, and they support the well-being and rights of all its citizens, particularly women. By implementing these decisions, Egypt will move towards a more equal and just society, and women will have the opportunity to contribute to the country’s progress and success.
