‘First Judge’ by Mohamed El Raai

This is Gender image that shows Counselor Fatima Qandil as she stares directly into the lens, seated among her male colleagues on the bench of Egypt’s Criminal Court. Her expression is steady, composed, unflinching. She is the first woman to ascend this platform, a space long reserved for men. Her presence marks a symbolic rupture in a system where the highest levels of law and justice have been overwhelmingly defined by male authority. Yet it also underscores how exceptional women’s inclusion remains, reminding us that representation, while significant, is only the beginning of structural change.
