NCW launches new paper on legislation for protecting women from violence

Egypt’s National Council for Women (NCW) has released a new paper, entitled “Protecting Women from Violent Crimes in National Laws and Legislations”, in partnership with the Ministry of Justice’s Human, Women and Child Rights Sector.

The paper aims to shed light on the legislative framework for the current legal protection of women under the constitution and national laws, within the framework of national strategies that Egypt had launched and the ratified conventions the country abides by.

This comes in conjunction with the celebrations that are taking place as part of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, marked on 25 November every year. It also marks the start of 16 days of activities to combat violence against women, which will continue until 10 December.

The paper aims to shed light on the legislative framework for the current legal protection of women under the constitution and national laws and within the framework of the national strategies it launched Egypt and the ratified conventions.
