MESA Boston 2016 - Five Hundred Mob-Sexual Assaults and one FGM case: Whose laws rule Women’s rights in Egypt?
Abstract
This document presents a note for circulation on sexual assaults and FGM-whose laws rule Women’s in Egypt. This presentation briefly exposes the challenges that Human Rights and Feminist activists endure when litigating cases that fall under the realm of Women’s Rights. This is a domain historically very politicised and a field of contestation between independent activists and state feminists.
