"... an egyptian man tweeted that it would not be the right time for the women in Egypt to go to the streets and demand their rights. I do not agree with this guy.
And I remember a woman's reply, saying HOW LONG shall we wait when we listen to others?, and she said that the women do not wait - and the women and mothers took the streets for demand their rights !
This exhibition did not wait, we artists did not wait, in these election times of choosing between the One or the Other, with no clear statement for future regards all the political prisoners and in face of the continuing crimes against women, girls, in view of the daily sexual harassment. We did not wait - and we do not wait - we go on - together, women and men, sons, daugthers, mothers and fathers.
This exhibition is one step in our long march for to bring an end to sexual harassment - it is a long and stony road, with many walls, but we go it together and we will not give up! ..."
(Excerpt from my greetings to the visitors of the exhibition opening.)
The streets are our's, too!

Testimonies on the Recent Sexual Assaults on Tahrir Square Vicinity
"... Nazra for Feminist Studies is publishing three testimonies of women who were sexually assaulted by a mob on Mohammed Mahmoud Street on Saturday, 2 June. The collective sexual assault and harassment that took place on the vicinity of Tahrir Square on June 2 and 8, 2012 shed light on the gravity of sexual harassment and assault on Egyptian streets. Although the three testimonies do not account for the entirety of the brutality that many women experienced on that Saturday and the Friday after, they are one example that offers a window to the dynamics of mob sexual assault and harassment on those two days, which are not the first of its kind."
