The National Council for Women branch in Ismailia, in cooperation with the IDDO Development Office, organized a training workshop for journalists, media professionals, and television correspondents to announce the launch of the second phase of the “Her Right” project.
The initiative focuses on correcting social misconceptions surrounding gender equality while promoting more stable and inclusive communities in the villages and areas most in need across Ismailia Governorate.
The workshop was held at the headquarters of the National Council for Women branch in Ismailia and brought together local media representatives to highlight the project’s goals and community impact.
Romany Abdel Shahid, Director of the IDDO Development Office, explained that the “Her Right” project primarily aims to build the capacities of girls and empower them to actively participate in society while defending their rights. He noted that the initiative seeks to create a generation capable of sustaining positive social change in the future.
He added that the project also focuses on preparing teachers, social specialists, and development workers to become facilitators for equality-related issues. This approach helps transfer knowledge and practical experience to younger generations and beneficiaries while encouraging the implementation of inclusive policies within youth centers and schools that respect social diversity and reinforce the principles of equality and justice.
For her part, Lobna Zaki, Head of the National Council for Women branch in Ismailia, stressed the importance of the “Her Right” project in promoting women’s rights and strengthening awareness around protection, physical and psychological safety, and the right to live free from all forms of gender-based violence.
She explained that the initiative addresses issues such as domestic violence, harassment, and exploitation while supporting broader efforts to protect Egyptian women. She also highlighted the council’s ongoing programs and activities aimed at empowering women economically and socially across the governorate.
