Within the “Addressing the Economic Drivers of Irregular Migration” project, the National Council for Women (NCW), in partnership with the European Union (EU), implemented an Oil Seed Processing training and targeted 30 women and men in Kafr Shubra El-Yemen village, in Gharbia Governorate, which lasted for 3 days, with the aim of encouraging women to work on the natural oil pressing project to increase their income and provide a decent life for them and their families as part of achieving women's economic empowerment.

       It is worth noting that the “Addressing the Economic Drivers of Irregular Migration” project aims to promote alternatives to irregular migration through promoting enterprise development and work opportunities for women and youth in Beheira, Gharbia, Luxor and Minya Governorates, in addition to implementing awareness-raising activities to highlight the risks of irregular migration based on the previous efforts.
