Egypt's position in the field of women rights is in an all-time-low. (Last week reports; 'Egypt worst place for women')
- After the revolution, women's rights have plummeted and women have been treated, not only unequally but worse.
- When the Muslim Brotherhood took over they rejected the CEDAW agreement, arguing it is for the well-being of the Muslim community (Conservative, Extreme motive)
- Mubarak (original dictator who was ousted as the result of the revolution), Mohammed Morsi (First democratically elected government who also was ousted) and the military (current authoritative government) did no better than the Muslim Brotherhood.
- Egypt is ranked one of the worst nations for women, 'officially'
- There has been no official records of the stance of women, except for online secondary sources.
- Women have no say in politics
- Women have no Freedom of speech
- Women are discriminated until they gain identity through marriage (still is discriminated though less)
- Nation (Muslim Brotherhood) argues that the reason for this is because it is to satisfy the religious and moral references.
- Muslim Brotherhood will not budge
- After their ousting and jail-time, women continue to fight for essential women rights and calls upon international attention and support.
