During her time in office, Abu Zayd worked on several different social
issues. She strongly supported a law that prohibited Islamic oral
repudiation and made it mandatory for a husband to go to court to be able
to divorce his wife. In order to combat mendicity, she imposed prison
terms on recidivist beggars who returned to begging after they had
received state-sponsored training in handicrafts. In addition to
registering NGOs and expanding their development activities, she launched
projects aimed at improving the status of rural women. One of the most
sensitive tasks assigned to Abu Zayd was the relocation of thousands of
Nubians, displaced by the construction of the Aswan Dam, to newly built
villages. Her management of the resettlement process led to her being
nicknamed the "Merciful Heart of the Revolution" by Nasser. Nevertheless,
the Nubians' forced displacement remains controversial in Egypt to this
day, with some blaming Nasser for the neglectful conditions in which the
relocated Nubians have been living since then.
