Abstract: Violence against women is one of the main forms of gender based discrimination that is prevalent in several countries. On the global level, Egypt is committed to international conventions and declarations to combat different forms of violence against women such as the Convention of the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) and Beijing declaration. Nationally, the Egyptian constitution mentions that the state is committed to address violence against women and a national strategy was developed two years ago to support the issue. However, the issue is still prevalent in Egypt and several news articles have been reporting on different cases of violence against women happening across a number of governorates. Based on a recent study published by the National Council for Women, CAPMAS and with the support of UNFPA, “Around 30 percent of women age 18-64 have been exposed during the past 12 months to at least one act of violence perpetrated by any of the three categories of perpetrators: spouse/fiancé, other close individuals or strangers in private and public spaces” (UNFPA, 2015, p.120). This research paper focuses on the policies and services offered by the Egyptian state to females survivors of violence and to what extent these policies are responsive and effective. Various studies have examined the state’s response to violence against women in different countries. Nonetheless, the studies conducted on violence against women in Egypt did not discuss the national efforts to solve the issue and create a better environment for Egyptian women. Through applying a qualitative approach, this research concluded that there are a number of policies and services either formulated or implemented to address the issue in Egypt. However, the findings highlighted that there are remarkable gaps in the responsiveness and effectiveness of these policies and services. In other words, the objectives of these policies and services are not successfully met. In addition, their responsiveness in terms of addressing the needs of the female survivors of violence in Egypt is being questioned. Accordingly, a number of policy recommendations are highlighted at the end of the study based on the findings reached.

Download and read online ebook Violence and Gender in Ancient Egypt write by Uroš Matić. This book was released on 2021-05-30. Violence and Gender in Ancient Egypt available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Violence and Gender in Ancient Egypt shifts the focus of gender studies in Egyptology to social phenomena rarely addressed through the lens of gender – war and violence, exploring the complex intersections of violence and gender in ancient Egypt. Building on current discussions in philosophy, anthropology, and sociology, and on analysis of relevant historic texts, iconography, and archaeological remains by looking at possible gender patterns behind evidence of trauma, the book bridges the gap between modern understandings of gendered violence and its functioning in ancient Egypt. Areas explored include the following: differences in gendered aggression and violent acts between people and deities; sexual violence; the taking of men, women, and children as prisoners of war; and feminization of enemies. By examining ancient Egyptian texts and images with evidence for violence from different periods and contexts – private tombs, divine temples, royal stelae, papyri, and ostraca, ranging over 3,000 years of cultural history – Violence and Gender in Ancient Egypt highlights the complex intersection between gender and violence in ancient Egyptian culture. The book will appeal to scholars and students working in Egyptology, archaeology, history, anthropology, sociology, and gender studies.

Download and read online ebook Domestic Violence Against Women in Egypt write by Nafissatou Diop. This book was released on 2009. Domestic Violence Against Women in Egypt available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Domestic violence is recognized as the most pervasive form of violence against women and almost all countries in the world experience this scourge. Yet, it was only in 1993 that the United Nations adopted the Declaration on the Elimination of Violence against Women, the first international human rights instrument to deal specifically with the issue. Until recently, data from low and middle income countries was limited. In particular, few representative studies had been conducted in Africa and the Middle East. This book explores risk factors and health outcomes associated with wife-beating as reported by Egyptian women throughout the country. The findings should shed light on the magnitude and issues related to wife-beating in an understudied region. They should be especially useful to policy makers, the community of governmental and non-governmental organizations, the civil society at large as well as researchers working to improve women's health and status. The book should also be valuable to specialists in health promotion and behavior change communication, to donor agencies, and to anyone interested in women's issues.

Download and read online ebook Gender, Protests and Political Change in Africa write by Awino Okech. This book was released on 2020-07-03. Gender, Protests and Political Change in Africa available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This book brings together conceptual debates on the impact of youth-hood and gender on state building in Africa. It offers contemporary and interdisciplinary analyses on the role of protests as an alternative route for citizens to challenge the ballot box as the only legitimate means of ensuring freedom. Drawing on case studies from seven African countries, the contributors focus on specific political moments in their respective countries to offer insights into how the state/society social contract is contested through informal channels, and how political power functions to counteract citizen’s voices. These contributions offer a different way of thinking about state-building and structural change that goes beyond the system-based approaches that dominate scholarship on democratization and political structures. In effect, it provides a basis for organizers and social movements to consider how to build solidarity beyond influencing government institutions.
