Abstract:
Empowering women is a crucial issue to be discussed nowadays due to its direct effect on the whole society. The Egyptian National Council for Women (NCW) is considered a tool for empowering women socially, politically and economically as claimed by the State. Indeed, and according to its declared aim, the NCW plays a very important role in tackling women's issues aiming for empowering the Egyptian women and giving them their rights. Thus, the main framework and policy of the NCW are for the interest of all women. Although , the declared aim from establishing the NCW is to empower Egyptian women, still there are some doubts concerning its main target and credibility which will be tested by the researcher through surveys and the interviews which will be conducted with the NCW's members and Egyptian women ranging in age from 17- 60 years old.
