Thirty children delegated by Egypt’s Coalition for Children’s Rights will meet Thursday the societal dialogue sub-committee of the 50-member committee tasked with amending the country's constitution, to present their demands regarding the charter and the protection of their rights.

The delegation will include street children, circumcised girls, children married at a young age, workers’ children and paralysed children, among others.

The coalition said it feared the 50-member committee would host its representatives but would not take into consideration their propositions, as also happened with Egypt’s prior constitutional drafting committee.

After former president Mohamed Morsi was ousted by the military 3 July, following mass protests against Islamist rule, Egypt’s interim authorities have been following a transitional roadmap whose stated objective is to lead the country to democracy.

The constitution, drafted in 2012 by a panel dominated by Islamists, is currently being amended by a 50-member committee after it was reviewed by a commission of 10 judicial experts.
