Egypt-Iraq, Politics, 10/2/2003
Speaker of the People's Assembly, Ahmed Fathi Sorour stressed that Parliaments' role should focus on respecting the sovereignty of states and independence in all forms, noting that the war on Iraq was launched without backing from international legitimacy.
ΚΚΚ Mrs. Mubarak said that the state is giving every attention to the welfare of women all over Egypt. She added that development starts by improving women's conditions. She underlined that President Hosni Mubarak is always supporting Egyptian women and is removing all forms of gender discrimination.
"Rural women play a vital role in the economic, social and educational fields," Mrs. Mubarak noted.
The National Council for Women is carrying out projects to serve rural women. Loans were given to more than 5,000 women in 11 villages to carry out productive projects.
The needs of rural women will be taken into consideration when drawing the five-year (2007-2012) plan.
About 300,000 young men and women are compiling data on the needs of women and families.
This is being done in collaboration between the National Council for Women and the Cabinet Information and Decision-Support Center (IDSC).
Mrs. Mubarak Wednesday opened an exhibition of the products of rural women and the Red Crescent Hospital and a girls club in Qena.
