CARE Egypt Foundation (CEF):
CARE Egypt Foundation for Development, registration no 833 for the year 2018 at the Ministry Of Social Solidarity in Egypt. CARE Egypt Foundation (CEF) is an Egyptian, non-governmental organization harnessing the legacy of CARE International in Egypt since 1954 to fight poverty and improve livelihoods. We envision Egypt as a place where everyone enjoys economic opportunities, equality and social justice. We empower women and girls by sharing our values amongst the private sector, government and civil society.
Women’s Rights Program
The Women’s Rights (WR) Program is designed to empower poor and marginalized women in Egypt who suffer from rights’ violation. Its impact goal is: By 2025, poor women in Egypt especially in Upper Egypt are empowered and enjoying a better quality of life, having attained their rights. In order to achieve this goal, the program works with both the duty bearers in government and civil society, as well as rights bearers, women themselves, to address discriminatory attitudes and behavior towards women and girls.
The WR program works with the duty bearers to support their role to protect and uphold the rights of women, and also with the women to encourage them to understand voice and demand their rightful entitlements. The program works on three domains (agency, relations and structure) in order to empower poor women in Egypt to gain their rights. Through the focus on agency, women’s self-esteem and confidence are built, and women have increased financial independence to fulfill their potential as productive and income-earning members of their households and society. In addition, when power relations (families) are gender sensitive whilst tackling all forms of gender-based violence (GBV) within and outside the household, and when structures (social norms or laws) particularly in the area of personal status, domestic violence are reformed, passed and implemented, gender equality can be achieved.
The program goal:
To implement and strengthen prevention and response mechanisms for Sudanese refugees arriving in Alexandria, Aswan and Cairo by adopting a combination of rights-based, survivor-centred, and community development approaches.
To enhance psychosocial well-being and resilience among Sudanese refugees.
