Located at the land bridge between Africa and Asia, Egypt is one of the most populous countries in the Middle East. The political situation is currently in transition, with the first elected government after decades of authoritarian rule being itself overthrown in July 2013. Major child rights issues are the age of criminal responsibility, early marriage and the prevalence of corporal punishment and violence by security forces.
