Women Of Egypt Network

Women of Egypt Network (WoEgypt) is an advocacy movement whose main mission is to empower Egyptian women by bringing into focus important issues hindering their growth, and by effecting positive change. The initiative was founded in 2016 and is reaching followers around the world, the vast majority being in Egypt. WOE believes that the road to empowerment begins with the development and strengthening of the individual’s core values and self-worth. This principle has been the guiding light of WOE since its inception and it has been incorporated into all its activities, including the publication and management of its FB page and Magazine. WOE has featured thousands of Egyptian women who have distinguished themselves as workers, professionals, artists, gymnasts and athletes, academics, entrepreneurs, and ordinary people who are breaking through gender barriers and societal taboos. This media exposure not only has highlighted the activities of these women; it has acted as a connectivity and networking tool for educational and business opportunities open to all who follow WOE on a daily basis. Moreover, WOE have become a credible and respected source of information and news about Egyptian women sought by printed and electronic media, international organizations and NGOs in Egypt and beyond. WOE was also created to change the image of how the west perceives Egyptian women and to revive the memory of the amazing women of the Egyptian suffragette movement. Egyptian women of all ages are invited to share their stories, to inspire others who are reading them.
