Egyptian Feminism

Egyptian feminism refers to the movement aimed at achieving gender equality and advocating for women’s rights in Egypt. It emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, primarily influenced by social, political, and educational reforms. Key figures like Huda Sha'arawi and Doria Shafik played crucial roles in promoting women’s education and participation in public life. Egyptian feminism addresses issues like legal rights, reproductive health, and social norms. Today, it continues to evolve, addressing challenges such as political instability, economic disparities, and cultural expectations while seeking to empower women within a complex socio-political landscape.
