CAIRO — By the time Egypt's parliament finally ratifies a law that will allow local elections to be held, the country's women should be ready to field candidates.
Manal al-Absy, head of a group known as the General Assembly of Egyptian Women, recently launched the “With Egypt” campaign, which aims to explain and promote the benefits of constitutional amendments the parliament is considering. The campaign seeks to support women in all Egyptian governorates through a panoply of seminars designed to shed light on the advantages of these amendments. The seminars target an elite group of jurists, parliamentarians, members of political parties and public figures.
