Women’s Rights Online

In 2015, Tadwein for Gender Studies conducted a study to explore the usage of the internet by Egyptian women and to identify any gender gaps, obstacles, and threats Egyptian women face in accessing the Internet and social media. The study was conducted in poor urban areas within Greater Cairo, namely in Cairo Governorate (Helwan), Giza (6 October), and Qalyubia (Shubra El-Kheima) from which a total of 750 females and 250 males were recruited into the study sample.  The study results were disseminated in 2015 in conjunction with the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence Campaign.
