to announce The National Council of Women Chaired by Dr. Maya Morsi, and all its members and members, its standing committees, its general secretariat and its branches in the governorates, expressed its rejection and deep dissatisfaction with the offensive content presented through the broadcast of the program “Kalam al-Nas” on “MBC Egypt” by the presenter, Yasmine Ezz, which is an insult, a contempt and a denigration towards Egyptian women, and harms them, as it is a content aimed at ignoring the awareness of society of what is being accomplished on the ground in terms of relentless efforts to empower Egyptian women.
The Council announces that it has filed an official complaint to the Supreme Council for Media Regulation against the program this morning, as the Council has received many complaints from Egyptian women via social media platforms expressing their rejection of this offensive content and they asked for it to stop.
The Council affirms its categorical rejection of any content that may humiliate and insult Egyptian women, as the content presented by the Egyptian Women Program is offensive and reactionary, includes speeches inciting violence against Egyptian women, and normalizes insult and the beating of husbands to wives, and that women must accept violence and insult, and also includes content The program also mocks and bullies the condition of the Egyptian family, which leads to the destruction of the social structure and the creation of conflicts within the family, without regard to the provisions of the Egyptian constitution, which includes more than 20 articles that regulate issues of citizenship and equality, criminalize violence and discrimination, respect women and preserve their dignity.
The Council points out that the great Egyptian civilization used to paint women on temples as symbols of strength, life and growth Egyptian women She is the queen who rules and fights in wars, and now holds the highest positions of leadership and is looking forward to more.
The council clarifies that this program and its content is not suitable for a reputable media institution that provides significant media content that enjoys high prestige with the Egyptian public, as such content violates the media’s code of honor, which requires raising the level of discussion of social media and family to a level that equates to the role of the woman as the main partner who contributes to building the family, together with the man who respects and appreciates her role, in addition to the fact that the media code for women plans to present women as informed, educated and engaged role models. The advice also highlights the serious impact of unchecked messaging which significantly contributes to a decrease in respect for women and thus an increase in violence against them .
The National Council of Women calls on channel managers to take the necessary steps to stop this reactionary content.
In conclusion, the National Council of Women states that it will not disregard any of the rights of Egyptian women, nor will it accept any violation or derogation from them in any way.
