Thus, the alliance organizations keen on providing its vision of the writing path of Egypt Revolution Constitution, by introducing related standards and mechanism to the committee of writing the Constitution, and women’s participation in it. As well as, formulating women’s demands in Egypt’s new constitution, based on a study of the Egyptians constitutions, people’s opinion, and drafting a document ” Women in Constitution ” which we turned a feminist discussion around it and then we presented it to members of the constituent assembly to write the Constitution without having any resonance in the constitution of year 2012.
