The National Council for Women (NCW) announced its categorical rejection of any work that incites and encourages abuse against women, diminishes their dignity, or perpetuates negative stereotypes that undermine their status and fundamental role in society. This statement follows in the wake of controversy leveled against Ramez Galal over his treatment of Asmaa Galal as a guest on his latest show. The NCW affirmed that the dignity of Egyptian women is a red line that must not be crossed or compromised. It stressed that protecting women in the public sphere is not merely an institutional commitment, but a national and moral duty that reflects society’s respect for its values, principles, and cultural identity. The Council affirms its firm and decisive stance and will take all necessary measures against any content proven to violate or breach professional standards and established societal values.
