Abstract
2020, which celebrates the 25th anniversary of the Beijing Platform for Action, was expected to be a decisive year for achieving gender equality. Instead, as the pandemic spreads (COVID-19), even the limited earnings achieved in the past decades are liable to relapse. The chapter peruses the role of state institutions represented by the National Council for Women and the legislations that were issued to confront this crisis in light of global movements. These global efforts to confront COVID-19 are reflected in ESCWA, UN, OIC, and the procedures of the Egyptian government. It is noted that the National Council for Women, during its work, is considered an example of implementing “governance.”
