Family Planning, Women’s Organizations and the Welfare State in Egypt from King Fuad I to Nasser (1930s-1960s) - 2024.
1
In time of social reform in Egypt, women's philanthropic organizations, supported by the monarchy and some doctors in Cairo, made the right to control the reproduction of destitute women their own, in order to protect national welfare (al-rafaha). After the revolution of the Free Officers, which ended the reign of King Farouq (1936-1952), birth control was first tolerated by Nasser’s regime (1954-1970) before being nationalized as the backbone of the welfare state. Faced with the relative failure of family planning, those involved in birth control reacted differently.
