A three-day conference on Egyptian women and the national plan organized by the National Council for Women will be held next Tuesday, March 13.
The conference will mark the first anniversary of the establishment of the National Council for Women and will discuss two working papers, the first of which will tackle the status of Egyptian women over the recent years, according to the organizers.
