When there is a repressive regime and a people fighting for their freedom, there is no choice to which side one should be. A special episode in tribute to and in solidarity with the Bahraini revolution. From Egypt to Bahrain, in love and revolution... Somood!

The participation of women in the Egyptian revolution didn't come as a surprise to us, nor do we view it as an extraordinary phenomenon.

Women are part of every society and form a part of the social, political and economical spectrum. It is history that tends in most cases to ostracize the participation of women and keep them in the shadow while highlighting the participation of men and attributing leading roles exclusively to them. This is why we want to document and share Her-story.

This project intends to shed the light on the participation of women and to document their experiences as part of the historical (herstorical) memory of the Egyptian revolution. We also view it as a tool for women empowerment everywhere and as a resource for researchers, students and everyone interested in the matter.

مش عارفين نرد عليك بأي طريقة، بس تعليقك يعبر تماما على الطائفية والوساخة والانحطاط الذي يبدو انك تتميز بهم! سنتركه هنا لكي يرى الناس عن اي نظام نتكلم واي انحطاط نثور ضده! يسقط حمد، تسقط الطائفية وتسقط كل الانظمة القمعية ومن يدعمها! صوت الحق يعلو على صوت السفالة

MARYAM Al-KHAWAJA IS A LYING COW. SITTING ON IRAN'S LAP. BAHRAIN IS NOT LIKE IRAN OR EGYPT TO OVERTHROW THE KINGS OVERNIGHT. BAHRAIN RULERS HAVE A HISTORY IN BUILDING BAHRAIN. . SO GO SUCK ON THOSE FUNDAMENTALIST IRANIANS INSTEAD. AND STOP YOUR CHEAP STREET PROPAGANDA. WHY DON'T YOU TALK ABOUT THE BOMBING ATTEMPTS MADE BY THOSE SAME FREEDOM FIGHTERS TO BLOW THE F1 CIRCUIT AND THE CAUSEWAY BRIDGE.WHAT ABOUT THOSE TERRORIST ACTS YOU DUMB COW. AND LEARN HOW TO SPEAK ENGLISH.

Men take the beatings. Women get the rights. That's feminist equality for you.

The problem with these people is that they have associated themselves with islamic regime in iran. indeed, they use the same tactics ( bringing Quran to demonstration in order to provoke police and therefore show them that they are anti-islam) of marketizing their victimhood. if their purpose is to bring a regime like islamic regiem in iran. then in my view police should use maximum force to quell them. we have one nasty islamic regime in iran. it is enough.

I had no idea that something like this was going on...
