Egyptian celebrities join campaign against [redacted] harassment in public transportation

PSA- Celebrities join national campaign against [redacted] harassment: An online and offline media campaign is sending a clear message that [redacted] harassment isn’t just morally wrong — it’s criminal. The campaign launched with a video tagged #Speak_up produced by corporate social responsibility campaigner Basitta and featuring celebrities Menna Shalaby and Hani Adel (watch, runtime: 1:29). The campaign, which focuses on harassment in public transportation, has the backing of the ministries of transport, investment and youth, according to a press release (pdf). France, Germany, UN Women and the National Council for Women are also providing support. We’re particularly chuffed that our friends at SODIC are acting as independent sponsors of the campaign.
