Gender equality in elected office: Applying the Six Step Action Plan to the Egyptian case
Pippa Norris, Lecturer in Comparative Politics, Harvard
Kennedy School
This session asks students to consider applying the Six Step Action
Plan to a country in the midst of revolutionary change as one
specific case study – Egypt. In particular, students will be asked
to consider what they would recommend, using examples learned from
their own experiences. The process of rapid political change in
Egypt, notably the new constitution, which is currently being
debated, provides important opportunities to empower women, but
there are no guarantees that these opportunities will be seized,
and many fear conservative restrictions on women’s rights. What
course of action would you recommend?
Lunch will be provided.
An RSVP is not required as this is an open event.
