For The First Time, Egypt Appoints 73 Female Judges To The Court of First Instance
In March, Radwa Helmi made history as the first female judge to sit on the bench of Egypt’s state council. Today, a new advance in Egyptian history is made.
For the first time, 73 female members of the administrative prosecution and state cases have been appointed as judges in the Court of First Instance
Although no law bars women from being justices in Egypt, the judiciary in the country has traditionally been all-male. Last year and for the first time ever, 98 females judges were appointed to the State Council and the prosecution.
