Women still in the fight for ther rights in Egypt

Description

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.

SOUNDBITES OF ALVÍN FLORENCIA SOMMA, MALVíN PLAYER:"It is a fight we have to continue to seek equality in sport. Some things have been happening that are a result of too many things. But we also think the way we have to keep pushing and continue growing is being here, participating and it is from inside. We need all parts related to women's basketball to push forward and mainly (we need them) to be convinced that we all want women's basketball to grow or reaches a professional status."
