And 61.7% of impoverished populations live in the rural areas, which is considered the highest rate among country’s governorates, not only the poverty and poor economic scale is considered the dominated feature of rural population but also there are many manifestations which commonly found at Assiut villages and estates, mainly: illiterate, prevalence of child labor, and prevalence of gender-based violence patterns (early marriage- deprive girls of inheritance- poor women participation in general life- Female Circumcision) in addition to negative customs and traditional legacies.

And about the human rights and development in the governorate, throughout the past two decades, many community associations provide support and assistance for local community to improve the quality of life.

Many of human rights _located in Cairo_ Tried to support raising awareness or provide some legal support to, but the foundations still missing. So most of associations at the governorate couldn’t adopted combating gender-based violence issues, because of its poor experience, that issues are not at the top of its strategies priority, or poor recognition of the negative impact of this manifestation on society and the state in general.
