Lawsuit on women’s work ban delayed to October 17
The lawsuit requests the suspension and annulment of the decision by the Ministry of Labour issued in April 2026, which prohibits Egyptian women from working abroad in professions including working in cafes and coffee shops, domestic work, nursing, and personal assistance. The plaintiffs argue that the ban contradicts the principles of equality and equal opportunity outlined in the Egyptian constitution and conflicts with Egypt’s international commitments, particularly the CEDAW Convention, which affirms women’s right to work and choose their profession. The challenge emphasizes that the decision imposes a general ban and restricts women's rights in a manner that does not distinguish between different levels of competence, threatening their constitutional rights. It calls for the suspension of its implementation and its annulment to uphold the principles of equality, freedom of work, and the right to movement.
