In the context of its social and awareness role, the Association of the Egyptian Female Lawyers (AEFL) \u2013 holds the consultative status with UN ECOSOC and run by Ms. Rabha Fathy \u2013 held the first training in Marin Inn Hotel in Hurghada to train NGOs and rehabilitate them to work upon the project of \u201cRatifying the Agreement Protocol of MAPUTO regarding Women\u2019s Rights in Africa\u201d. This protocol comes out from the African Charter on Humans and Peoples\u2019 Rights issued in 1981 and which tackles all problems, crises and difficulties faced African women in addition to putting an executive agenda to which all African countries commit in regard to women\u2019s empowerment and overcome and combat all violations forms women are exposed to.<\/span><\/p>\n

The training mainly aimed at reviewing the protocol\u2019s articles and explaining its texts as means of creating pressing public opinion in order to persuade the Egyptian authorities to take steps towards signing it and integrate it in the system of national legislations especially as most African countries have signed and ratified this protocol due to its importance except Egypt and Botswana which have not ratified this important protocol yet. So through this training, AEFL targets raising awareness of NGOs in different Egyptian governorates regarding the importance of this protocol in addition to clear understanding of its articles and its commitments.<\/span><\/p>\n
