Engineer Amr El-Laithy, Governor of Aswan, congratulated Sanaa Suleiman following her appointment as Acting Rapporteur of the National Council for Women’s Aswan Branch by Counselor Amal Ammar, President of the National Council for Women.
Suleiman succeeds the late Dr. Hoda Mostafa, who passed away in July 2026. The appointment marks a new phase for the council’s work in Aswan, with a focus on continuing initiatives that support women’s empowerment, community development and women’s participation across different sectors.
Aswan Governor Affirms Support for Women’s Empowerment
Governor Amr El-Laithy expressed his confidence in Suleiman’s ability to assume her new responsibilities, highlighting her experience, professional capabilities and strong presence within the local community.
He affirmed that Aswan Governorate will continue providing full support to the National Council for Women and its efforts to advance the interests of women in the governorate.
The governor also stressed the importance of continued coordination between the governorate and the council to support development projects, strengthen services for citizens and advance women’s participation in economic, social and community life.
The cooperation is also expected to contribute to achieving the objectives of Egypt Vision 2030 and Aswan Vision 2040, particularly through initiatives that place human development and community participation at the center of local development.
Honoring Dr. Hoda Mostafa’s Legacy
El-Laithy also paid tribute to the late Dr. Hoda Mostafa, praising her contributions to public service and her longstanding efforts to support women and address issues affecting the community in Aswan.
He described Mostafa as a prominent public figure whose commitment and dedication left a lasting impact on the governorate. Her work, he noted, provided an example of effective public service and continued support for women’s empowerment.
Aswan Honors the Late Women’s Leader
As part of efforts to preserve her legacy, the Aswan governorate previously named the main hall at the Egypt Public Library in Aswan after Dr. Hoda Mostafa.
The gesture recognized her contributions to public and community work and reflected appreciation for her role in supporting women and serving the people of Aswan.
The naming of the hall also serves to preserve her memory and highlight her work as an example of commitment, public service and dedication to community development.
