This paper discusses the opening that the 2011 Egyptian Revolution had on the discussion of women's right. Various platforms such as social media, art performance and graffiti have opened up a small dialog regarding this social issue.
In the revolution of January 2011, many young Egyptians turned to participatory and social media in conjunction with real-world organizing and demonstrating. That is, participatory media were used as platforms for political activism, a use that activists had increasingly employed to compliment real-world actions. The revolution did not introduce this phenomenon.
Egyptian feminists are prepared to fight against conservative groups such as Salafists, and the Muslim Brotherhood for women's rights. The party in power should not silence the female voice.
The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region has experienced major improvements in health over the past few decades. 1 Today, on average, a girl born in Egypt is expected to live for 72 years-nearly 20 years longer than if she had been born in the early 1970s-owing in large part to a 70 percent improvement in infant mortality rates over the same time period.
