Lawsuit Delay on Women’s Work Ban
The Administrative Court of the State Council decided to postpone the hearing of the lawsuit demanding the cancellation of the Ministry of Labor's decision to prohibit women from working abroad in professions such as cafes, coffee shops, and home care until November 7th. The lawsuit concerns affirming women's rights to work and rejecting discrimination, as the ban is seen to conflict with constitutional provisions that guarantee equality and equal opportunities, as well as Egypt's international commitments, such as the CEDAW Convention. The report from the General Authority's rapporteur supported the annulment of the decision, asserting that it exceeds regulatory authority limits and violates the constitution and labor laws, arguing that the prohibition on women in these professions constitutes unjustified discrimination and hinders their employment opportunities abroad. The participation of several women in the lawsuit reflects the broad opposition to the decision and underscores their rejection of discrimination against their right to pursue lawful professions freely.
