VOICED: Egyptian court to give verdict on female judges

The video discusses the ongoing debate about female judges in Egypt's State Council. Despite a constitutional court ruling against women judges, the decision was overturned, highlighting gender discrimination issues. Public opinion in Cairo is divided, with some opposing women in power due to traditional beliefs, while others advocate for gender equality. Currently, only 32 out of 12,000 judges in Egypt are women, but their achievements are recognized. Recent legislation mandates women to hold at least 12% of seats in the lower House of Parliament, indicating progress towards gender equality.
