The National Council for Women organized a ceremony to honor Dr. Maya Morsy, Minister of Social Solidarity, in appreciation of her efforts during the Council’s eight-year presidency.
The event was attended by Counselor Sanaa Khalil, Vice President of the Council, Iman Khalifa, Secretary-General of the Council, heads of the Council’s central departments, general managers of the Council, and employees of the General Secretariat. Everyone came together to celebrate the Minister of Social Solidarity for the significant impact of her efforts, which everyone inside and outside Egypt felt.
Dr. Morsy began her speech by expressing her sincere thanks and appreciation to the political leadership for entrusting her with the responsibility of the Ministry of Social Solidarity. She also expressed her highest gratitude to President Sisi for his continuous support of women and the National Council for Women.
The Minister of Social Solidarity expressed her happiness to be present in the corridors of the Council, where she worked for eight years. During this time, she was honored to work with the Council’s members, rapporteurs, and members of its branches in the governorates, its committees, and its General Secretariat.
Maya emphasized that the National Council for Women’s accomplishments during her eight years of presidency resulted from a collective effort involving all members of the Council, the general secretariat, and the Council’s committees and branches in the governorates.
This collaborative effort has helped to establish a positive image of Egyptian women internationally. Dr. Morsy also emphasized the importance of genuine partnerships with all state agencies and institutions, including the National Council for Women and the National Council for Childhood and Motherhood, to achieve success in any endeavor.
She noted that the ministry has 15,000 social pioneers who will collaborate with the National Council for Women, recognizing it as a highly professional and well-organized entity.
The minister further mentioned the recent ministerial circular that instructs not to exclude families benefiting from the conditional cash support program “Takaful and Karama” if they also benefit from the services of the digital savings and lending program “Tahweesha” or any of the economic empowerment programs provided by the Ministry of Social Solidarity.
The program aims to help them transition from receiving cash support to engaging in production and work. The ministry serves a broad segment of the Egyptian people and will cooperate with the National Council for Women. In recognition of her work, the National Council for Women presented an honorary shield to Dr. Maya Morsy, Minister of Social Solidarity, and expressed commitment to continuing the approach set by her during her term as Council President.
