 ABORTION RIGHTS IN EGYPT

When we talk about human rights there's one right we talk about- the right to choose.

The choice can be in any form if they want to choose to be an architect or choose to follow any religion or choose not to carry on with their pregnancy. 



Yes, we're talking about the right of women to choose the fate of their pregnancy. The choice is usually taken from them either by law or by society's norms.

Abortion Laws differ all across the world but they have one thing in common- they are designed by MEN who neither hold qualifications in the field of women's health nor a Uterus!

But these lawmakers still get to decide the future of women and bind them in the laws regarding the pregnancy that they are carrying. 

Funny isn't it?

Talking about the Abortion law in Egypt states 

"Abortion is prohibited by Articles 260–264 of the Penal Code of 1937.

 However, under Article 61 of the Penal Code, exceptions may be granted in cases of necessity, which has typically been interpreted to permit an abortion necessary to save the pregnant woman's life. 

In some cases, this exception has been extended to issues where the pregnancy poses dangers to the pregnant woman's health, and to cases of fetal impairment. A physician can only perform an abortion in such cases when two specialists approve unless the woman's life is in imminent danger." 



Egypt has taken away the right of women to choose. They don't know the history of these women but feel free to bind them. No pregnancy can be terminated, only medical severe conditions where the fetus poses risk to its and the mother's health. But even in that case woman needs the consent of at least two physicians. 

This shows how little, people actually care about women's health. 


There was a Fatwa released by Manummad Sayyid in 1998 that rape victims can abort the pregnancy. This showed that maybe some people were actually woke and were working for the betterment of women's health.

He approved a draft bill that would permit abortion in the case of rape but the bill was unsuccessful. 


Despite these strict regulations Abortions are common. One thing that people should never forget that you can never stop abortions, restricting abortion just makes it unsafe.

Abortions are carried out everywhere it's a basic health care that has to be provided to every woman. And taking away that is taking away their basic right.

LGBTQ  On 6 th September 2018 Supreme Court passes the Section 377 and legalizes the same sex marriage. After decades of fighting queer finally got acceptance in Law, not in society. Law has accepted gay marriage, but society still sees it as an unethical. The struggle of queer’s for equal rights isn’t considered same as struggle of other people he fighting against discrimination of race, cast, sex, religion.   The Supreme Court passed the law that marriage or sex between the people of same gender is totally legal however no federal law preventer person from being fired or refused a job based on sexual orientation. Mother and fathers lose the child custody battles only because they are gay. Gays are featured in movies not as novelty characters but as full participants in society.  Despite these advances into the mainstream however, LGBT people continue to face real discrimination in all areas of life. People are still not ready to accept homosexuality, they r...

 If You Can’t Stand the Heat – It’s Probably Global Warming For 2.5 million years the Earth's climate has fluctuated cycling from ice ages to warmer periods but in the last century, the planet's temperature has risen unusually fast about 1.2 to 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit. Scientists believe it's human activity that's driving the temperatures up a process known as GLOBAL WARMING . Ever since the industrial revolution began factories power plants and eventually, cars have burned fossil fuels such as oil and pull releasing huge amounts of carbon dioxide and other gases into the atmosphere, these greenhouse gases trap heat near the earth through a naturally occurring process called the GREENHOUSE EFFECT , the greenhouse effect begins with the Sun and the energy it radiates to the earth. The Earth and the atmosphere absorb some of this energy while the rest is radiated back into space, naturally-occurring gases in the atmosphere trap some of this energy and reflect back wa...

 Gender Discrimination For decades, gender inequality has been a major social problem in India. In India, the child sex ratio among children aged 0 to 6 years is 918 girls for every 1000 boys, according to Census 2011. This figure speaks for itself, indicating the need for immediate and effective solutions to the root causes of gender inequality. In India, gender inequality also occurs. In Indian culture, being born as a woman means facing gender inequality at all stages. Females are limited to the confines of their domestic chores, raising children, and caring for relatives, regardless of their educational degrees or career profiles, at the household level. Women have fewer career options and are paying less for the same jobs at her employer. Education and learning opportunities: India's gender-based literacy rates reveal a significant disparity between men and women. Productive literacy rates (age 7 and up) were 82.14 percent for men and 65.46 percent for women, according to ...
