Despite long efforts conducted over the years by some research centers, as well as the New Woman Foundation (NWF) regarding this issue, these efforts remain fragmented and haven\u2019t reached yet the wide public. Moreover, officials remain oriented towards a vision considering women as subsequent to men, and in best cases consider them as mothers, wives or daughters who work only to help their relative males. Moreover, a high majority of women work all day long, sometimes for more hours than men, without no retribution. It applies to women\u2019s domestic work as well as their informal contribution to household\u2019s welfare, such as it is the case for street vendors of vegetables or other home-made products. This is socially considered as a natural fact of life that does not deserve any compensation, protection or visibility.<br \/>\nthe conference is a serious attempt to add visibility to the current situation on a wide scale in order to contribute urging decision-makers committing themselves to adopt policies and commitments for better and fair conditions for women.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nwrcegypt.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_8839-1024x683.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-10854 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/nwrcegypt.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_8839-1024x683-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_8839-1024x683\" width=\"287\" height=\"191\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nwrcegypt.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_8839-1024x683-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nwrcegypt.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_8839-1024x683-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nwrcegypt.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_8839-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/nwrcegypt.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_8839-1024x683-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width:767px) 287px, 287px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/nwrcegypt.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_9058-1024x683.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-10855\" src=\"https:\/\/nwrcegypt.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_9058-1024x683-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_9058-1024x683\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nwrcegypt.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_9058-1024x683-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nwrcegypt.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_9058-1024x683-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nwrcegypt.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_9058-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/nwrcegypt.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_9058-1024x683-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width:767px) 300px, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nwrcegypt.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_9105-1024x683.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-10856\" src=\"https:\/\/nwrcegypt.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_9105-1024x683-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_9105-1024x683\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nwrcegypt.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_9105-1024x683-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nwrcegypt.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_9105-1024x683-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nwrcegypt.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_9105-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/nwrcegypt.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_9105-1024x683-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width:767px) 300px, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Very few voices advocate for women\u2019s recognition of their contribution to the economy in Egypt as women\u2019s work \u2013 either formal or informal, paid or unpaid<span class=\"excerpt-hellip\"> [\u2026]<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":10833,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":true,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[631],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10832","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-women-economic-participation-conference"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nwrcegypt.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10832","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nwrcegypt.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nwrcegypt.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nwrcegypt.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nwrcegypt.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10832"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/nwrcegypt.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10832\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10857,"href":"https:\/\/nwrcegypt.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10832\/revisions\/10857"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nwrcegypt.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10833"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nwrcegypt.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10832"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nwrcegypt.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10832"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nwrcegypt.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10832"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
