Women marginalized as Egypt’s post revolt rights stall
Egyptian women who played a key role in the 18 day uprising face sidelining in post Mubarak politics. Officials report deaths and injuries among women, while activists warn that quotas and constitutional protections are being rolled back or ignored amid a male dominated transition. Badran and Abu el Kamsan criticize political pandering and warn that women must organize to secure gains and voting power.
