Abstract

The research problem is summarized in identifying the most important challenges facing women researchers, whether they are family, work-related or societal, which prevent the increase of their scientific production and their delay in the career progression in order to identify the opportunities that can be used in pushing the women seeking forward and empowering them. These opportunities will be the focus of this paper.
We hope that this study will be an addition to the limited research conducted in Egypt on women researching in the field of media, especially there are some professional organizations that urge research in the field of equality and non-discrimination between faculty members according to gender only.
Upon identifying the challenges facing women researchers, whether at the level of family; work; or society, we will be able to define strategic parameters that provide women with better conditions to increase their scientific production in terms of publishing scientific research, writing books, obtaining awards, and assuming leadership and decision-making positions.
