In Egypt if you were born as a woman you will be identified less than men in everything inheritance, marriage , equality and even your freedom . there is no law to protect us as a women, i had a bad experience and i needed to talk about it
last year, an Egyptian police man harassed and molested me because i was in the street at 11 pm and he thought that i'm a whore and he let himself touch my whole body and his friends and another police men were stand next to him laughing and he gave himself permission to check my phone , ID, and read my messages while he was insulting me
Unfortunately when i tried to resist he Slapped me because i had no right to speak or protect myself, i couldn't do anything and i cried i felt that if he killed me in the middle of the street no one would say anything, he said that all women are whores !!
i don't feel safe in that country and i know that no women feel safe either , specially with our laws that protect only men in this Country
last week i read the news about a woman her brother killed her and she was pregnant!! and that because she was pregnant from her boyfriend without marriage, he gave himself the right being her god and executed her !!!
and when the police arrested him he didn't execute ? instead of that , the judgement judged for him with only 3 years in prison , because he protected his family's honor and killed the shame.
everything here not really logical, and i know that when any woman just say no against these laws she will go to the prison and will executed
I just need my voice make a little or even small change to change our law and help women in Egypt to have a better life .
