The legislative and institutional environment to formulate and implement laws and policies that promote gender equality and women’s empowerment in line with the 2014 Egyptian Constitution and relevant international norms and standards is enhanced.

UN Women supported the National Council for Women by providing technical expertise in the field of Personal Status Law (PSL) through sharing regional and international relevant resources and best practices that would support evidence based messaging with respect to the new PSL agenda in Egypt. An agreement between NCW and UNWOMEN has been signed to advance a gender sensitive legislative agenda that fulfills the rights of women. As a result knowledge products were generated focusing on the impact of PSL issues on both women’s and children’s life. The reports highlighted the gaps in PSL, and proposed recommendations based on the data collected through audio-visual and written media. Also, comparative literature was produced focusing on PSL in different countries along with a compilation international and regional agreements concerning women and children in relation to personal status cases which are believed to inform the preparations of updated proposals to the new law.
