Question: Egypts social issue
Summary: Traditional gender roles in Egypt are prevalent and clearly defined. These roles
are largely associated with traditional Islamic family structures, wherein women's roles are
closely tied to the domestic sphere and men's roles tied to the public sphere. Gender roles are
based on assumed differences between the sexes and can lead to dramatically different life
experiences as well as opportunities and outcomes for individuals. Consequently, when
looking at a number of indicators, women often find themselves disadvantaged relative to
men.
Analysis: the main issues is gender inequality.

Question: What did government do to fix the issues
Summary: Convention on the Rights of the Child: Egypt ratified the CRC in 1990,
because Islamic law doesnt allow adoption. The reservations were withdrawn in 2003. After
that, Egypt acceded to the Optional Protocol to the CRC on the sale of children, child
prostitution and child pornography in 2002 and to the Optional Protocol to the CRC on the
involvement of children in armed conflict in 2007, without reservations to either treaty.

Freedom of movement: According to the law, women and men have the same rights with
regard to the movement of persons. Since 2000, women no longer need the permission of
their husband or father to travel and obtain a passport.
(this is just an example that we put in proposal)
Analysis: government did something but some of it didnt work or make the issues worst.
