Women protesting in Egypt holding a sign that says, "No to Discrimination."
The headline reads, “Council head faces judges’ ire over female appointments.” It was music to my ears as I read it out loud. Surely, not the part about the Council head facing ire; rather the fact that a daring soul decided to appoint females to the Council. At the risk of gloating, I could not be more proud of my uncle for standing up for women’s rights today and issuing a decree to appoint female judges to the State Council. We’ve had our disagreements over multitude of issues, but when it comes to confronting the parochial norms of holding women down from certain professions I could not agree more.
