Women still in the fight for ther rights in Egypt

Cairo (Egypt), March 8 (EFE / EPA), (Camera: Khaled Elfiqi).- Six years ago Omnia Gadalla was first told "no" when trying to access the judicial career, even though the Egyptian constitution grants that right to women.

However, she is still fighting against the entire judicial system to secure her rights and those of other jurists.

"I feel that this has consumed me, especially in the last times, but I am not going to give up and waste what I have done in all these years," Gadalla, Law professor at the Al-Azhar University in Cairo, tells Efe.
