This representation is shocking after the June 30th revolution where women contributed to it against the excluding women by the Muslim Brotherhood. After the 2nd wave of the revolution, June 30th 2013, the 50-member committee comes with a 3% difference compared to the Muslim Brotherhood committee. Consequently, firm guarantees should be given to ensure women\u2019s participation through determining quota for women at all levels; decision-making positions, executive, legislative and judicial authorities in order to pass peacefully the transitional period to a democratic period and express the ambitions of all Egyptian women and men.<\/p>\n<p>It is worth mentioning that Egypt witnesses a decline among the countries regarding the women\u2019s participation in decision-making reached its peak in 2013. Egypt ranked 139 out of 142 among 189 countries through women\u2019s representation which is 2%. This led women to participate strongly in the squares of the revolution demanding the change and refusing the exclusion.<\/p>\n<p>The 10-member committee for amending the constitution included no female experts which resulted in issuing a draft of constitution which didn\u2019t stipulate the least of women\u2019s demands or what the women\u2019s movements submitted of articles and suggestions to be included in the draft. Moreover, the draft of the constitution doesn\u2019t include any articles ensure women\u2019s political participation, as if women\u2019s participation in the revolution and going out in million man marches to the squares to be subjected to all risks is a national duty of her, whereas her participation in the transitional period and democratic transition is not women\u2019s business. The 50-member committee was formed with a percentage of women\u2019s participation doesn\u2019t exceed 10% with a difference 3% of the Muslim Brotherhood committee which included 7% of women\u2019s representation.<\/p>\n<p>ECWR has already submitted a suggestion of the need of women\u2019s participation including at least one-third and proposed the mechanism of achieving that to help the decision makers to consider these demands, but these proposals were ignored.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, The Egyptian Center for Women\u2019s Rights (ECWR) &amp; the Parliament of Defending Women\u2019s Rights denounce the formation of this committee which didn\u2019t represent women fairly even with the availability of qualified women. Also, they denounce continuing the policies of ignoring women\u2019s voices and demand women\u2019s representation at least one-third (35%) as a guarantee of participation in order to commit everyone to find a solution to overcome the continuous policy of exclusion of women. Provided that, Women\u2019s representation should be involved in all decision-making positions, executive, legislative and judicial authorities in order to pass peacefully the transitional period to a democratic period and express the ambitions of all Egyptian groups; women and men.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>10 % is Women\u2019s Share in the 50-member Committee for Amending the Constitution after 7 % Representation in the Muslim Brotherhood\u2019s Committee (Cairo September 2nd, 2013) The Egyptian Center for Women\u2019s Rights (ECWR) &amp; the Parliament of Defending Women\u2019s Rights denounce the poor female representation in the formation of the 50-member Committee which is 10%.
