Dr. Mohamed Abdel-Aal addressed the concept of domestic violence as a serious social phenomenon that threatens family cohesion and societal stability.

This necessitates concerted efforts from civil society and government agencies to provide a safe environment that supports family members.

She pointed out the necessity of providing healthcare for women at all stages of their lives, from pregnancy and childbirth to regular checkups and prevention of sexually transmitted infections, in addition to raising awareness about family planning. This contributes to reducing mortality rates and the spread of diseases, and enhances women's ability to participate effectively in society.
