Background

UN Women, grounded in the vision of equality enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, works for the elimination of discrimination against women and girls; the empowerment of women; and the achievement of equality between women and men as partners and beneficiaries of development, human rights, humanitarian action and peace and security.

Ending violence against women and girls (EVAWG), including harmful practices, has been a clear and committed priority of the Government of Egypt. There have been gains in terms of gradually evolving legislative frameworks and increased national-level awareness about the prevalence of gender-based violence and the legislative provisions to protect individuals from harm. The most significant gains in recent years have been the establishment of core essential services for women and girls escaping violence. These gains and investments are important, but so are the demands. Alignment of the legislation with the Constitution and ensuring sufficient allocation of financial and human resources to essential services continue to challenge national response to EVAWG. Equal to these requirements, is the need to address the social norms – and within this, gender norms – which are at the root of all forms of VAWG including female genital mutilation (FGM).

Building on over 20 years of investments, partnerships and technical expertise, UN Women Egypt Country Office (ECO)’s Portfolio works with national stakeholders in strengthening the capacity of duty-bearers to provide quality essential services for survivors of violence in an integrated and coordinated manner. In this regard, UN Women also supports the provision of shelters, legal aid, and psycho-social support for survivors of violence. UN Women supports advancing positive social norms, attitudes, and behaviors at the individual and community level; and establishing and operating safe and economically viable public spaces for women and girls who are empowered to access and use them. This work is made possible through the generous support of the European Union.
