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 to boost its used by more than half of the iranian population and women in particular are discovering there really is strength in numbers regardless of where they are in the world. it's a punishable crime which are beyond veiled in public according to the laws sharia 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
4:32 am
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 on the simple picture. there was a picture of me rolling in a beautiful street in london it was a spring maybe 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 when my hair was like a hostage in the hands of the really big government. i
4:33 am
ask women whether they want 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 graunt. 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 the tree going to mile an hour walking the c.s.i. just reminds me of home.

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 sit down 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 or rubble. in our house. my mother never had the chance to go to school university never she's not even able to read and 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
4:35 am
against islam i'm against my own country and big chain my country but i think these are all happening just because you know the governor really brainwashed. 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 corruption i became a coal of news then again because i criticized the president of iran it was just a week before the controversial election 2009 my car got the wind allies in iraq and 2 of my journalistic car was on there my vehicle real so that was a message for me that you know it's going to happen to you as was so i decided you know leave the country.
4:36 am
i launched myself the freedom but after 3 years it was everywhere so like the president of iran knew about it talked about it of all the media around the war the media inside iran during 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 off lie these people need to identify each other so in 2017 i decided to. actually you know pick and they pick a color and help these people to identify each other in public. these women on the white man's face they are the only soldiers only warriors i call that one person the inspiration because they never have the permission to take this
4:37 am
means 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. and this is the time man should get involved in women's movements so i created another campaign called the many hits all. the government and all want to control the society because they know that this generation is not going to keep silent they found social media as an alternative many young chicks frustum souls to be loud and to break the censorship that is what the social media itself is is a threat for islamic republic of iran so they try to block that because they see this is the main battleground and they don't want to lose control.
4:38 am
or. perhaps so many change that the biggest one is one day while many are wrong have the power to and from. my dream is just seen. 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 sports can also help build self-confidence. had to really
4:39 am
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 in one with full force of pastor but on the streets they're never afraid. and 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 out in the world. and these women do wear headscarves even while 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's got
4:40 am
a good job limits me and gets in the way it makes it harder for me to breathe when my hair is uncovered i feel better and perform better for the. women's boxing in the 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. listen it's not as though this is only a sport for men but there are many women who become world champions and in egypt there's a lot of potential for that we have many. strong intelligent 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 women to pair and i need to love the stuff where this is all those muscles look disgusting in my own fashion
4:41 am
a scenario i feel ill when i see all of that. horrific bus mechanism of us of. not your 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 have a sensational career but it hasn't all been easy. it was very hard for my family to accept this but they said how can you do something like this if you break your nose because blood gets spilled an eyebrow split it. at home she never received much direct support and that hurt even though she understood her parents' sensitivities. my parents have never seen me they never attended the championships only my siblings came back and my mother was
4:42 am
even too afraid to watch videos of the matches she only ever wanted to know if i had won. a couple 100. 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 much. her mother is proud of her youngest child and of her powerful punch. i also learned that my boxing is actually self-defense 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 but we did. why law and how leader can do more than just box they're also quite capable cooks and that's at least one stereotype they fulfil but while law is in no hurry to get married she says finding the right
4:43 am
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's why i would like to find someone who understands me and also practices the sport and loves it and how did he 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 love these female boxers are also fighting for women's rights in the arab world and for the right of everyone to follow his or her own path with no holds barred.
