In this context, Dr. Maya Morsi, President of the National Council for Women, affirmed that the Egyptian Women’s Summit is one of the regional mega events that harness the role of professional women in various sectors, as part of the comprehensive strategy of the Council to empower women and enhance their professional participation and roles in different areas of life, to promote sustainable development and serve the goals of the Egyptian state in building a better future based on comprehensive social justice and increasing women’s representation.
She added that Egyptian women have achieved many accomplishments during the past period within the framework of the supportive role of political leadership in preserving women’s gains and their role in various sectors.
