Egyptian Women fights back! - Promo

This is part of an audio documentary about Egyptian women and how they use activism to combat several challenges including sexual harassment and violence. 

In this part, I interview Nihal Saad, the co-founder of Imprint Movement (Harakat Bassma, in Arabic) and the Public Outreach and Communication Coordinator for Harassmap.

The Imprint Movement (Harakat Bassma, in Arabic) is a voluntary social organization founded in July 2012 to confront some of the most challenging issues in Egyptian society, from widespread illiteracy to the plight of street children. The movement’s first project focuses on combating sexual harassment. According to the Egyptian Center for Human Rights, more than 80% of Egyptian women have experienced sexual harassment, and many of them experience unwanted sexual advances on a daily basis as they go about ordinary social activities in the public sphere. In Egypt’s current unsettled economic and security climate, the scale and severity of sexual harassment has increased.
