EGYPT: Across parts of Egypt, many women continue to be denied their legal inheritance rights, often through pressure, coercion, or outright violence. Daughters are frequently urged to “waive” their share in favor of male relatives to preserve family control over property. Those who resist may face social isolation, threats, or physical harm. Despite laws designed to protect women’s rights, enforcement remains weak at the community level. The issue reveals a deep clash between legal reform and entrenched cultural norms.

  • Pray for justice within families and communities, that women are protected from oppression and treated with dignity (The Holy Bible, Isaiah 1:17).
  • Pray that laws meant to defend the vulnerable are upheld with courage and fairness by institutions and authorities. (The Holy Bible, Psalm 103:6).
