Recently, Jess Dutton and Ambassador of Sweden and EU Gender Champion Thesleff honored ten inspirational Egyptian women change-makers.

 

“I have had the pleasure to witness Egypt’s strong will and determination to empower women and girls over the last three years.  Today, we recognize and celebrate both the journeys and visions of some of the committed women who have tirelessly worked to realize this will and determination, and in their own unique ways have made their communities and Egypt more gender-equitable, more peaceful, and more prosperous,” he said.

 

“Public-private partnerships are pivotal for sustaining change, and we are proud of the Canadian-funded projects and our partners in Egypt who are leading the way in improving the skills and training of women, securing a better quality of life and fostering the future of a prosperous Egypt,” Dutton added.
