Egyptian women demand
Jinha - Womens News Agency - April 5, 2024 - by ASMAA FAHTI
<<Egyptian women demand ratification of ILO Convention 190
Egyptian women demand the ratification of ILO Convention No. 190
preventing violence and harassment in the workplace.
Cairo- ILO Convention 190 (C190) is the first international treaty to
recognize the right of everyone to a world of work free from violence
and harassment, including gender-based violence and harassment. The
convention was adopted in June 2019, by the International Labour
Conference of the International Labour Organization (ILO), and came into
force on 25 June 2021. Governments that ratify C190 are required to put
in place the necessary laws and policy measures to prevent and address
violence and harassment in the world of work. Egyptian women demand the
ratification of the convention protecting women from gender-based
violence and harassment in the workplace.
'I remained silent'
Nahed Mohammed Al-Melegy of the Adult Education Authority, confirmed
that Egyptian women are subjected to violence and harassment in all
facets of life. <I was insulted at work simply because I disagreed with
a male colleague. He threatened me by saying, 'If you were a man, I
would cut your stomach in half with a knife and I wouldn't let you leave
here.' I thought about filing a complaint but I remained silent because
of pressure at work. Women need a safe workplace to work and be
creative.>
'The convention supports women'
Amal Saqr of the Edraak Foundation for Development and Equality, thinks
that ILO Convention 190 is important because the ratified countries have
to create a world of work free from violence and harassment, with a
focus on protecting vulnerable groups and achieving gender equality. In
Egypt, women are subjected to all forms of violence in the workplace.
Egypt must ratify the convention to prevent gender-based violence in the
workplace because the convention supports women.
'The laws are not implemented'
Recalling that Egypt has many laws protecting women from violence, she
said, <However, these laws are not implemented. One of my friends was
subjected to violence and marginalization by one of her colleagues.
Then, she was fired. She could not protect her rights and faced
financial difficulties. The convention must be ratified to protect women
and support women's participation in the labor force.>
'Women face many rights violations'
Fateh Sobhi, Egyptian journalist focused on human rights issues and
women's issues, thinks that Egyptian women are subjected to
discrimination in all facets of life. <The violations faced by women in
their workplace related to birth and child care should be immediately
eliminated. Women journalists also face violence, psychological
blackmail and rights violations.> Speaking about the wage gap between
men and women journalists, she said, <Women journalists are paid less
for the same job. Women journalists remain silent against rights
violations because they are afraid of being slandered, stigmatized or
fired. Egypt should ratify ILO Convention 190 to prevent rights
violations faced by women in the workplace.>
'Women urgently need the ratification of the convention'
<Women need the ratification of C190 more than before,> said May Saleh,
Director of the Women, Work and Economic Rights Program at the New Woman
Foundation. <Women face various violations in different business
sectors. Women working in tourism and hotel management, customer service
and at airports are subjected to violence, harassment. Their rights are
restricted. Egypt must ratify the convention to protect women's rights
in the workplace.> >>

<<'Women's Social Contract will be a model for the whole world'
<The Social Contract approved on December 12, 2023 by the General
Council of the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria will be
a model for the whole world,> Ariya Mele Ehmed, Co-chair of Peoples'
Assembly in Jazira Canton.
Hasakah- Women have been achieving great success in all facets of life
since the revolution in Rojava, also known as <Women's Revolution>. On
December 12, 2023, the General Council of the Autonomous Administration
of North and East Syria (AANES) approved the amended 134 articles of the
Social Contract guaranteeing the rights of the women leading in
military, politics and social life.
NuJINHA spoke to Ariya Mele Ehmed, Co-chair of Peoples' Assembly in
Jazira Canton, about the contract.
'Women will build their own system'
Mentioning the importance of the Social Contract for women, Ariya Mele
Ehmed said, <The Social Contract was approved at a very critical period.
The contract is based on women's freedom. The contract has many articles
on gender-based equality, protection of women's rights and gains, the
co-presidential system and the establishment of a Women's Council. The
Social Contract states that women will build their own system. In order
to build a women's system, women first should draft a contract so that
they organize themselves and protect their rights and gains.>
'Women's social contract must be drafted'
Ariya Mele Ehmed believes that a women's system will guarantee women's
rights. <According to the Social Contract, a system based on women's
confederation should be built and a women's social contract should be
drafted. Since the world is ruled by dictators having a sexist system,
women should build their own system, a democratic system guaranteeing
freedom for all individuals and developing society led by women. The aim
of the women's social contract will be to protect the values, gains and
rights of women and eliminate violence against women in North and East
Syria.>
Pointing to the important gains achieved by women in the 21st century,
Ariya Mele Ehmed said, <We always say that the 21st century will be the
century of women. Drafting the women’s social contract will be an
important step for women in organizing themselves and maintaining their
successes and leading their society. Our aim is to draft a women's
social contract not only in North and East Syria but also across Syria
because we feel responsible for protecting the rights of all women no
matter where they live.>
'The attacks on North and East Syria have intensified'
Recalling the ongoing attacks targeting women in North and East Syria,
she said, <The attacks on North and East Syria have intensified since
the approval of the Social Contract. These attacks target the contract.
Undoubtedly, there will be many attacks because the states, hegemonic
and sovereign powers do not want a system based on democracy and
equality. Despite all the attacks, we know that the Women's Social
Contract will be a model for the whole world.> >>
