Women Business and the Law 2021- World Bank Report







CAIRO – 8 March 2021: Egypt is mentioned as one of the countries globally that took positive strides in protecting the health and safety of women in dire times, as per the “Women, Business and the Law 2021” report published by the World Bank Group, according to Minister of International Cooperation Rania A. Al-Mashat.

 

Al-Mashat noted that while the world was taken aback by the COVID-19 pandemic's health and global economic crisis, many households around the world struggled financially and this was coupled with health anxieties creating increased mental stress. 

 

“The Arab Republic of Egypt launched the ‘Our Mental Health Is a Priority' initiative in May 2020. With the help of psychologists and professional institutions, this initiative has supported the mental health of Egyptian women and has raised the public's awareness of mental health during this challenging time,” writes the report.
