CAIRO, Sept. 8 (Xinhua) — Egypt has appointed 48 female judges to the State Council for the first time under a program for young professionals, demonstrating the country's efforts to empower women and reform the judiciary.
The move supports the comprehensive development of Egypt's judicial system amid digital transformation and ongoing institutional modernization, according to a statement released by the State Council on Sunday.
“Today’s historic step reflects the country’s commitment to empowering women and promoting their participation in the judiciary,” the statement said, citing Egypt’s State Council Chairman Osama Shalaby.
Their appointment marks another important step in the empowerment of women in the judicial sector following March 2022, when 98 women were sworn in as State Council judges for the first time in Egypt's history through transfers from other judicial bodies.
Founded in 1946, the State Council was reaffirmed by Egypt’s 2014 constitution as an independent judicial body with jurisdiction over administrative disputes, disciplinary cases, appeals, and challenges to its own decisions. It also has the power to issue legal opinions, examine and draft bills and regulations, and examine draft contracts involving state or public entities. –0–
