These efforts are carried out through various activities led by the University’s Anti-Violence Against Women Unit, affiliated with the Community Service and Environmental Development Sector. The unit is headed by Dr. Walid El-Sorougy, Vice President for Community Service and Environmental Development, and Dr. Samah Rabie, Professor of Psychiatry at the Faculty of Medicine and Director of the Anti-Violence Against Women Unit.
Key initiatives and activities include:
