The head of the National Council for Women, Dr. Maya Morsi, met with the Director of Human Development for the Middle East and North Africa at the World Bank, Dr. Fadia Saada, who is currently visiting Egypt for the first time after assuming her new position to discuss ways of cooperation between the Council and the World Bank in the areas of economic empowerment and financial inclusion for women.
Dr. Maya Morsi began her speech by welcoming Dr. Fadia Saadeh to the Council’s headquarters and praising the cooperation between the Council and the World Bank in the file of women’s empowerment, which includes the gender equality stamp launched by Egypt, guided by the gender equality model, and developed by the World Bank.
The stamp aims to enhance equality between Both genders, eliminating discrimination against women and increasing practices that help women advance to senior positions in various companies, noting that the model for granting the seal to two companies in the private sector in the field of communications and the banking sector has already been documented.
Furthermore, Dr. Morsi underlined the importance of documenting Egypt’s successful experience in many fields and transferring it to neighboring countries to benefit from it, pointing to several initiatives that help empower women and provide them with financial inclusion, which is considered one of the most important files that the Council is currently working on.
For her part, Dr. Fadia Saada expressed her happiness at visiting the National Council for Women, praising Egypt’s efforts in the field of women’s economic empowerment and the activity of the National Council for Women in this file, looking forward to more cooperation between the two sides in the field of women’s economic empowerment.
