Distinguished scholars and activists from different religious and professional backgrounds established the Council of Arakhna (elders) and Wise in Egypt in 2014. Their goal was to promote peaceful co-existence among followers of different religions, to prevent violence and promote early conflict resolution in Egypt.
Their main focus: interaction with Egyptian stakeholders to defend the rights of minorities and oppressed people; the organization of interfaith dialogue forums to promote human rights, dignity and peaceful co-existence; assuring that all citizens of Egypt have the same opportunities regardless of their religious or gender backgrounds.
