2:31 am
out of it women in egypt have discovered the power of boxing. and we meet online activist massy alina jet and hereabouts her campaign the ordinary women to experience a little freedom. women in iran are expected to cover their heads in public and if they want to apply for a passport or travel abroad they need male permission and wives have little chance of obtaining a divorce nonetheless women have been campaigning for equal rights in their country since the turn of the millennium. social media has given the movement's a boost it's used by more than hoffa of the iranian population and women in particular are discovering there really is strength in numbers regardless of where they are in the world. full it's a punishable crime that should be unveiled in public according. to the laws sharia
2:32 am
laws in iran you get lashes you get jailed and fined but more important than this you won't be allowed to get an education from the age of 7 if you take off your headscarf you won't be allowed to get a job you won't be allowed to live in your own country. my campaign was born from a simple picture. it was a picture of me rolling in a beauty food street in london it was a spring may the trees were full of blossoms and i wrote a caption on my picture that every time when i wrong in a free country and i feel the wind through my hair it just reminds me of the time
2:33 am
when my hair was like a hostage in the hands of the reigning government. i asked women whether they wanted to share their pictures with me so the moment of freedom with me i was bombarded by pictures from women inside iran being unveiled. so i created my stealthy freedom page on facebook bush now has more than a 1000000 followers on instagram and more than a 1000000 followers and it's all about freedom it's all about dignity it's all about choice. i grow up and i'm small for less which is close the cusp and see. what i get homesick. the only thing that makes me feel home and happy is just going to nature climbing
2:34 am
the tree going to mount an hour walking the seaside just reminds me of home. thanks. to our kitchen in the village are designed for women it's shorter because women are shorter than men so. i remember i used to say to my brother i know this is short for you but there is a chair said 1000 and wash the dishes so that shows that i started my feminist movements my feminist revolution from my kitchen that is important for women we have to start. being a rebel. in our house. my mother never had the chance to go to school university never has not even able to read and
2:35 am
write but to me she's the true feminist. my father has stopped talking to me he doesn't support me the things that i'm against islam i mean against my own country and big chain my country but i think these are all happening just because you know the governor really brainwashed like people like my father otherwise my father loves me. when i was a student i got kicked out from high school just because of my opinion and then i became a journalist part of entry journalist i got kicked out from the m.p.'s just because i exposed the crush and i became a call of nice then again because i criticized the president of iran it was just a week before the controversial election 2009 my car got the one that lies in iraq and 2 of my journalistic car was on there might. so there was
2:36 am
a message for me that you know it's going to happen to you so i decided to just you know leave the country. i launched myself a freedom but after 3 years it was everywhere so like the president of iran knew about it talked about it with all the media around the war the media inside your on the rein in the state t.v. clerics and i thought oh my god now this is the time we have to shift the online movement to something offline these people need to identify each other so in 2017 i decided to actually you know pick of they pick a color and help these people to identify each other and publish.
2:37 am
these women in white ones they say there are only soldiers only warrior i called it one person the inspiration because they never have the permission to take this. they will be shot they will be you know into prison they will be torture but they are brave they found a way to protest against oppression. this is the time men should get involved in women's movement so i created another campaign called the many in. the government all want to control the society because. this generation is not going to keep silent. phone them social media as an alternative media express themselves to be loud and to break the census. that is what the social media itself
2:38 am
is a is a threat for islamic republic of iran so they try to block it because they see this is the main battleground and they don't want to lose control. i have so many bad the biggest one is one day while many are wrong have the power to run the country. my dream is just to see. our as. sports is another activity that gender roles in muslim communities make difficult for women to fully participate in yet playing basketball or football can be deeply liberating. not only is it healthy and physically strengthening school it
2:39 am
can also help build self-confidence. had to really packs a punch and that's what saves her from all sorts of unwanted male attention. here on the streets of cairo sexual harassment is a common experience. back to her training partner while law is just as fierce she's egypt's heavyweight boxing champion. outside the ring the 2 boxers usually have to dial it down a notch to refrain from striking anyone with full force of pastored but on the streets they're never afraid. i don't want to boast but in fact i'm a heavyweight boxing champion. and that's an honor for my family so i'm the man of the house and also. in the world. and these women do wear headscarves even while
2:40 am
training but it causes some frustration and for competitions they like to take off the his job although this bothers a lot of men. and i'm sure he got a good job limits me and gets in the way and makes it harder for me to breathe when my hair is uncovered i feel better and perform better for the. women's boxing in egypt is still only a fringe sport but according to the coach there's no shortage of talented women the challenge is finding them and supporting them. in the service though this is only a sport for men there are many women who become world champions and in egypt there's a lot of potential for that along with many strong and talented women. but they don't have it easy in egypt there's deep seated prejudice and many clichés that endure. boxing is a brutal sport i think it's better for women to avoid it it's very difficult for
2:41 am
women it's a bear and i need to love the stuff. where this is all those muscles look disgusting in my fashion to know i feel ill when i see all of that. horrid some of us are. not yet abdel-hamid has had to contend with stereotypes like those for years but that hasn't stopped her quite the contrary she became world champion in 2008 and today she coaches egypt's national team the men's team it should be noted. she's had a sensational career but it hasn't all been easy. i thought it was very hard for my family to accept this but they said how can you do something like this you could break your nose blood get spilled in eyebrows split. at home she never received much direct support and that hurts. even though she understood her parents' sensitivities. my parents have never seen me
2:42 am
box they never attended the championships only my siblings came back and my mother was even too afraid to watch videos of the matches and she only ever wanted to know if i had one of the cupboard under. the law has also earned numerous gold medals to the delight of her nephews her biggest fans they also want to become boxers like there aren't but the road there is long while la has been fighting in the ring for 7 years and that. her mother is proud of her youngest child and of her powerful punch. i also learned that my boxing is actually self-defense that she's had to defend herself so many times i remember how she beat up 3 boys at school who harassed her with one of them had attacked her with a pencil and almost killed her now with it. why law and holly are can do more
2:43 am
than just box they're also quite capable cooks and that's at least one stereotype they fulfill but while law is in no hurry to get married she says finding the right partner is even trickier in her case one family lawyers tend not to like it when a girl is stronger than they are and that that's why i would like to find someone who understands me and also practices the sport and loves it be who she is and how did she call those. living life with a sense of confidence that something that these young women demonstrate every day they're fortunate to have the support of their families and they can't imagine a life without boxing. and i might have had in the us have been my boxing friends are the most important thing to me the way other people wake up in the morning and go to work and i go to the gym it's my life. by doing what they
