Egyptian Centre for Women's Rights

The Egyptian Centre for Women's Rights (ECWR) is a civil, independent, non-governmental, non-partisan, not-for-profit organization in Egypt.

It supports Egyptian woman in obtaining full rights and equality with men.

In addition, the ECWR motivates legislative authorities to review legislation related to women's rights, not only as it relates to the Egyptian Constitution, but international agreements as well.

Of those who reported cases of sexual harassment to ECWR, only 12 percent had gone to the police with a complaint.

Considering sexual harassment to be a social 'cancer', the ECWR asked the government to introduce legislation to curb it.
