National Council for Women (NCW) has called on all state institutions to take legal measures against violations of citizens’ freedoms.
In a statement on Tuesday, the NCW denounced violence toward women, making reference to a statement human rights and feminist groups and political parties sent to Mohamed Morsy on Monday that calls on the new president to take urgent action against the abuse of women.
The NCW called for all state institutions to work to stop those who violate the rights of women, and specifically requested that the Interior Ministry take action against the perpetrators of violence and harassment.
