literature invites us to see people in particular. i like to see how smart is the kids find the strength growing up. my only object of america is to share what i find beautiful. on you tube. in this small village where i grew up very think the goal should stay at home and raise children. but i think that girls have a right to their freedom. i believe that the situation in egypt was wrong and needed to be changed people have suffered a lot of injustice and i've seen a lot of corruption. when i 1st took to the streets i was shocked but happy.

was much at least half of the protesters were women maybe even the movie. came for me it was a transformative experience freedom and social justice there's differentiate between men and women. of the muslim brotherhood a group long banned here which is by far the biggest underground organization in egypt says it join the protests. the muslim brotherhood was with us but they were planning something else and with a bit of a deadly. mubarak all of the army but when vehicles rolled into high ropes they seemed to take no action against the demonstrators. away with this if you chant that the army and the people who are united gave hope to

a lot of people know i. was young many see for president hosni mubarak has decided to step down as president for egypt and he has decided that forces will leave the nation was. was in was enough in them and i think everyone workers farmers and people from all classes and women were part of this. they were welcome it was not going to talk happening and of course in that moment when current thinking about what was coming ahead of us to really gave i mean.

even before the revolution my friends and i used to demonstrate at the university. was. that sometimes students looked at us as if we were crazy they made fun of us and left. at one point i took a microphone and yelled what are you waiting for stand up for your rights. and then i joined the revolution as an egyptian woman demanding her rights which were previously disregarded.

unfortunately on international women's day when women were celebrating on to hear square least insulting chant shouted at them get out of here the definition of the bomb kind of. but there was a hand inside my blouse these men who wrote the prophet out of the koran other same men who sexually harassed us.

in. the armed forces celebrated women's day by performing virginity tests on 17 girls some iraqi brigade was one of them. they insulted us and beat out she said then shop just with electric prods they ordered last one dress completely and split us in the 2 groups she was forced to lie on a table and undergo a brush energy test. she told us that the military calls her a prostitute and says this has just mentioned humiliate women and scare them away from protesting. the age of generals admitted that the tests had taken place one general told them that the tests were carried out to help defend the army against

potential climbs of rife. with them about when they arrested a lot of young people before virginity tests on the goals they took with the tents . that's really started reevaluate our situation and he by that innate and. i said to the kids that's enough i moved to tahrir square here to my house. i told them we could work at my house and whoever wanted to could sleep over happening on some of them started to call me mom. and they listened to what i said we didn't know the muslim brotherhood was the man behind our back israel where.

happening and. to the demands of an end to military rule and handover of power to civilian government. any hope egypt's military would hand over power ahead of its own schedule were dashed in a 2nd day of violence that has left at least 9 dead and hundreds wounded. and if in

my entire life i've never seen a crackdown that intense with that many weapons. and that match tearing me to arriving. at the. moment and 4 men in that they were standing on top of the building throwing everything you can possibly imagine at people chairs desks they were trying to kill people to file and. we were shocked after we used to chant the army and the people are one hand. statements are no good now the military council has to go. dr out. i feel they're killing the revolutionary us staying silent it's a crime they have to take to the streets i was shocked i was i

was in the final at the end i was bringing them food to eat tomorrow then suddenly the police ambushed us they came out like roaches a huge number of them. i was one of the people they took into custody. one of the soldiers beat me and broke my arm. one who was cursing at us so i said you should be ashamed of yourself i'm as old as your mother he goes hysterical and smacked me in the face even now i have a problem with a nerve in my only pain in philosophy and. that i did any of what he called for someone to take me to the parliament where they were torturing he has evil nest that. or if i sit at the. end of the money i was arrested on saturday. night as soon as the army

caught me they stripped me of my veil and. the 1st thing they do is strip a girl of her veil they dragged me by the head over to a group of soldiers. more than 20 soldiers had been on the head with batons i needed more than 20 stitches. that's what they went for my 1st your head. if i was. they continued to beat and broke me. they groped the private areas of my body 5 of them are placing here and 20 are pulling at. this didn't just happen to me. the regime was assaulting the women to break them

the role of the people on the embassy been it. for king people have been killed hundreds injured over the last 3 days because he thought he was strikingly white provoke outrage and to say to the police brutality what happened since egypt's young women in the streets was a protest that is being called perhaps the most significant of its calling in this country you know how you will was when everyone took to the streets because of what happened during the cabinet clashes i took part in the mob jim people would tell me make god punish those who humiliated he was he was everyone was king the post is. of a cartoon of an egyptian woman and. and the hand of the military conscript and you

could see the uniform and it says ok either choose a cut of your hand. or it was so powerful women marching just saying to muslim at the times wish the daughter of egypt will never be was was in the they were people who understood the pain and they knew that those in an army uniform had reached a point to a instead of protecting you they humiliated him beat you that was no longer on the romney and sorry i called my spec to. get him was on.

now i had to deal with my family and the battle at home and here i think. i see my entire family sides with the military and this program regardless of what the regime is. i'm over the past when i regained consciousness i was at home and locked in a room b. for a friend for the muslims to have. chile where my uncle my brother and my grandfather were really angry they said you disgraced us you brought us shame. my whole family was afraid of course they were they were threatened they could have lost their jobs that. i think

my aunt said i cannot face people in the village. i had no way of communicating with people in mumbai my family took my cell phone cut the internet connection again. and i wanted to speak up and expose the torturers who did this to me but i couldn't get. them and then i realized that i was in another prison thinking that the prison at home. arsenal that i decided to escape from the window but my arms were in hard plastic us is part of it but we also lived on the 3rd floor i plan to walk along the wall to reach the ladder. i just wanted to escape it was a crazy idea i didn't know how but i was determined to do it i had to get out i broke the plaster cast which was almost up to my elbow but my hands were still

broken i couldn't open the window right. i saw them come on they kept me locked up in the house for $55.00 days i counted every minute every 2nd of each day and i started to think they would never let me out. so on the 25th of january the 1st anniversary of the revolution i decided to start my own revolution at home just like the one on the square but this one would be a revolution in spirit. if i found some papers and i started writing statements on them. for instance i'm not disgraceful i'm not a scandal. to happen i am one of the revolutionaries. under the weight of the revolution will continue in every house in egypt until we were in. my hands once to end the siege and prison will not make me back down.

if someone spoke to me i wouldn't. i was on strike because i pointed to the signs and they read them and said i had lost my mind then i wanted to feel that i was doing something like the people out on the streets i said i wanted to liberate minds from ignorance from outdated customs and traditions. it is that i was summoned by the public prosecutor i was questioned as a suspect i was charged with offenses like assaulting police officers throwing bricks molotov cocktails torching a science research center inciting riots overthrowing the regime damaging public property and possessing weapons despite the fact that we were the victims.

and. it was definitely something you're free to have to counter that competing really compete thank. you but it's having to choose between less than is. one of mubarak's best friends it's unfair it's unfair for what people have been dreaming about and fighting for.

i knew that if morsi was to become the president of egypt it would be a huge challenge brotherhood would be using the religious narrative when it comes to minimizing the image of marriage. sexual harassment the prince fish numbed women and politics this one appears the most. common morsi has been sworn in as egypt's 1st democratically elected civilian president. and. any information concerned the muslim brotherhood backed candidates will take egypt stand a rate of more strict is a mess and. it's unclear how much power the new president will have the military count. david self's

we. could tell bones of the president.

mohammed morsi issued a presidential pardon to all those charged during the revolution. in the public prosecutor consider the case of the cabinet clashes to be an anti revolutionary case and against the military said was excluded from the part in the creek. filipe. my family told me they did not want me to live with them at home anymore. they tried to force me to marry someone i didn't know so i went to cairo. but i was alone. and said i had only myself to depend on i mean all and that. was how.

i found an apartment. not only my family sent messages to my phone my threatening to kill me. they said they would find out where i lived kidnap me and marry me off against my will. so it's. this is. the 1st i started working at a law center where we try to help all different kinds of people no matter what their political views are kind to me all that matters is that they are an egyptian citizen who has been assaulted him about what we do is provide them with moral public own legal support. was. cut was one of

the there are $269.00 defendants in the cabinet clashes case they were individual charges and their group charges was everyone's moved on and we are left to take the blame. and her anything else and in logic i went to my court hearing how to back up if you want me on my way in a police officer insulted me and i spoke back to him. so he took me into a room and ordered the female prison guard to touch private areas of my body once twice 3 times. i was screaming so he would come and get me out of that room mr fundi it was i was at my. house and if i don't cry.

we said we'd file a report on the incident. and then we have to figure out what to do about the rest of the case if. but it had to hit us like i think it was humiliating very very humiliating he was giving her orders to do that to me . it wasn't trying to stay calm that's how they operate they're trying to make things difficult for you oh they're out to get me i understand let's not give them any more chances. to. meet and. that made me more determined to fight against the officers had tortured me they had to be put on trial.

our government and we decided to establish a nation without torture to put pressure on the government. to coffees one with mel. which was. the idea started with 6 people who are all victims of torture even if we never achieve justice at least we're helping others through the same trauma we experienced. and. i. i. thank you for standing up for me don't mention it it's the least we can do.

after more 6 names of power there was serious of violations against freedom of expression. there are still people in prison there was the civilians being tried before a military quite. accused of blasphemy and many of them were christians so it was frightening when we're seeking to power. women either when the muslim brotherhood took power it was the 1st time i felt afraid and they called us heretics and told us what was permitted and what was for a bit more. than it was. to get together my way i took my headscarf off with the rise of the muslim brotherhood i didn't want to be like them so i took off the veils of as a. way that.

was i mean those who say it's forbidden for a woman to speak to a man and said well it's not just a matter of principles to them you're a blasphemer and so you must die you cannot impose jet. from time to time she longs for talking her square and reminisces about the egyptian revolution. who is only 24 years old dreamt of living in a new era preserve dignity for gyptian women. after president morsi took over we had hoped that we would get our rights that we would see real change but the situation has only got worse we thought in 2011 that would be going forward we were going backwards. we've been going backwards.

i found that. i joined contest against morsi but with big gatherings big problems i. in the midst of all the protests many women felt assaulted. i was punched and groped by many men. sexual harassment and sexual violence has been super evident since the victim 18 virginity tests i mean. rape and assault they were taking place all the time but who did anything no one was just us protecting ourselves. so we decided as a group of friends to form some sort of an intervention team started up as

operation anti-sexual harassment and then later on when we realized that we should not sugarcoat the level of the crime we are slashing assault. we need to walk around into hate and whenever we see cases of sexual harassment tries to do something about that. to call. watching a drama. after their last deceit hair cuts are in freefall the
