Under the theme of ³Women under Social & Economical Pressure², the MECC Women¹s Program in Egypt organized a one-day seminar (20 April) in the Gree k Orthodox Church of Cairo. The meeting started with a Biblical reflection on the personality of Ruth, followed by two presentations focusing on the social and cultural aspects both in urban and rural areas, depriving women of their full right and dignity as active members of society. The positive role the media could play in bringing new values to the society by encouraging women¹s role in the economic and social sectors was highlighted .
