Specific Recommendations for the

future leaders by women groups
30-50% of your membership and your leadership positions should be for women Ensure that your decisions are based on a real assessment of the situation of all citizens in this country ; whether women, or Christians That Egypt will be built by both women and men.

Recommendations
All media especially radio and television should interview women as much as men, put women in your pictures, interviews, programs, talk shows and in whatever you do to confirm that women were beside men in every step

Recommendations
Western media should locally interview all types of women not sensationalize it by going to veiled women only

We will continue working to defend women and their children rights
