El Gabry was also honored for her active participation in the conference. 

For his part, Shell Egypt’s Vice President and Country Chair Khaled Kacem said: “There is still more that can be done to empower women and expand their role within society, and this is where the role of companies and organizations comes in to support them by adopting practices that apply fair treatment between genders in the work environment. In Shell Egypt, we work hard to empower and support women at various levels, as the percentage of female representation in the company reached 33% in leadership positions and 25% on the company level as a whole.”

El Gabry also said, “I always feel happy when I see this type of forum that honors the efforts of women in general, and in the energy sector in particular, which has always been dominated by men only. Egyptian women have proven their worth because of their outstanding performance in the field of energy in recent years, until it was able to break the stereotype that accompanied the business of the energy and gas sector.”

Commenting on winning the Inspire Award, Kenawy said, “I am happy to receive this award, which is a culmination of the efforts I have made throughout my career. This was possible through having the passion and ambition to accomplish the greatest possible achievement, not only in a personal capacity but also as an Egyptian woman working in a sector in which it is not uncommon to see a female role model. This journey full of achievements was the result of the strong support I received from Shell, which believed in my abilities and capabilities throughout my professional career, in addition to the support and guidance I received on the family and personal levels as well. This award is the best proof that Egyptian women have huge potential and can develop all sectors of society.”
