Judges attend a swearing-in ceremony before Egypt’s State Council’s chief judge Mohammed Hossam el-Din in a celebratory event in Cairo, Egypt, Tuesday, October 19, 2021. Ninety eight women have become the first female judges to join the council, one of the country’s main judicial bodies. The swearing-in came months after President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi asked for women to join the State Council and the Public Prosecution, the two judicial bodies that until recently were exclusively male.
