Women haven’t reaped many benefits from Egypt’s “Year of Women," Sabry Ghoneim pointedly says in a column penned for Al Masry Al Youm. The government has focused on some “obvious” areas such as giving women more seats in parliament and access to certain official positions, which are important, but do not address the deep-rooted issues of social and cultural oppression that women face, Ghoneim says. He points to concerns over women’s safety in the street and the outdated laws that govern women’s rights as just two areas that have not been given any attention.
