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.

Objective of the Assignment:

The consultant will train 120 women on psychodrama to implement the training for women to explore topics around SGBV in Cairo. This innovative method combines art, music and drama to guide participants through phases of self-expression and inner reflection that works towards changing perspectives, managing behaviors and feelings, improving self-esteem and confidence, and ultimately leading to healing from their experiences. The technique has been used in previous CARE projects in Egypt with outstanding results, prompting participants to tackle sensitive and taboo topics, delving into the roots of problems, identifying violent situations they have been involved in, and dealing with emotions indirectly linked with their perspectives on violence.

Project Brief:

Sexual and gender based violence (SGBV) is often exacerbated during humanitarian crises when the stability of the society is disrupted and the population is most vulnerable. Refugees are at an even greater risk as they lack the protection of their government and may have limited rights in their host countries. Sexual harassment is a pervasive problem in Egypt, which is currently affecting the more disadvantaged Syrian, African population. During the past years, Refugees women have reported instances of sexual harassment and physical violence in public spaces. In addition to other SGBV concerns such as domestic violence, early marriage, and exploitation of single and female headed households.

As of August 2017, 1,216 Syrian SGBV survivors were reported to UNHCR through the 3RP.  Domestic violence (intimate partner violence IPV) remains the most frequent form of SGBV, along with forced and child marriage for Syrian refugees. For Africans and Iraqis, the most types of SGBV that they are subjected to are rape and sexual assault, as per CARE’s case management system. The prevention and response strategy has been taken into account in this project’s design.

Since 2013, CARE International in Egypt has been implementing a holistic approach to address the problem of sexual and gender based violence among refugees. Through a combination of rights-based, survivor-centred, and community development approaches, CARE continues to raise awareness on the issue, enhance protection for individuals at risk, and support survivors who have faced various types of violence, exploitation, and abuse.

The Safety, Empowerment and Protection for Syrian and non-Syrian Refugees and Host Communities in Egypt is a 2 years project funded by CAREUS from September 30, 2023 – September 29 , 2025.  Areas of implementation are Greater Cairo, Alexandria, and Damietta.

The project primarily targets Syrian and Sub-Saharan women and children living in Greater Cairo and Alexandria, who are most susceptible to and affected by SGBV. It is estimated that approximately 65% of beneficiaries will be Syrian refugees and 35% will be refugees from Iraq or African countries. The project additionally aims to engage men and boys in its various activities. In order to transform gender inequalities that social, cultural, economic and political systems perpetuate. Following CARE’s Gender Framework which encompasses agency, relations and structure and in order to create real sustained change, both men and women must be engaged in a synchronized way to ensure that work complements and reinforces the positive changes aimed for.
