Egypt has for the first time appointed 98 women as judges in one of the country’s main judicial body.
The judges were sworn in before the council’s chief judge in an event in the capital, Cairo yesterday.
This comes months after President Abdul al-Sisi called for women to join the country’s two main judicial bodies.
Since its inception in 1946, the State Council has been exclusively male and until now actively rejected female applicants.
