| The current study aimed at "an evaluation study for the role of the National Council for Women in achieving social and economic support for women in the most needy governorates" (An anthropological study). The study was applied to the women surveyed in the governorates of Minya and Assiut by conducting a comprehensive inventory of (250) individuals, and its results concluded that the support for women in obtaining their social and economic rights came to a medium degree, while the support for obtaining their economic rights came to a weak degree, the results related to the most important problems that they suffer Including the women in the study sample and proposals for solving them from the point of view of the women respondents: The most important problems faced by the surveyed women in the study governorates of Minya and Assiut from the respondents’ point of view are: social and legal support for women and girls, the decrease in the average monthly income of the family. And the lack of job opportunities available to women with low economic and social status, and the low value of the pension and its insufficiency to meet the needs of the family. The lack of experience and training necessary to get a job, the accumulation of debts and the difficulty of paying them, the high prices and their unsuitability for women's income. The high costs of children's education, which causes them to drop out of school, and the high costs of children's marriage. The inability to reconcile the requirements of work and the needs of the home and family, and the inability of the woman in question to solve the problems of her children on her own. The inability to establish a small project because there is no suitable place for that. The high rate of illiteracy, and the difficulty of marketing the products of small projects. The low housing condition, the lack of basic family needs, the negative impact of women going out to work on the relationship between them and their children, and the bad psychological state due to society’s negative view of women. The poorest are the governorates of Upper Egypt, including Minya and Assiut, and the generalization of training programs for all governorates. The most important proposals for solving the problems faced by the surveyed rural women from the respondents’ point of view were: providing job opportunities appropriate to the abilities and skills of the women respondents and their social conditions, raising the value of the pension provided to women, facilitating the procedures for obtaining loans and reducing the interest rate, and exempting children of low-income women from Paying study expenses, NGOs providing social subsidies and assistance to women respondents with low incomes, organizing training courses to develop the skills of women respondents through training programs with the National Council for Women and qualifying them to get a job opportunity. Expanding the establishment of literacy classes and encouraging the women surveyed in the poorest and lowest-income governorates, and encouraging them to enroll in these classes.
