Books – Mustafa Hamza:
The artist, Reham Abdel Ghafour, entered the list of victims of sexual harassment from artists, after revealing that she had been harassed in her childhood by a trusted person from the age of her grandfather.
Reham revealed the state of horror she experienced, after being sexually harassed, and the details of the incident, after a long silence, according to her. In the following report, we monitor how she and other artists faced the shock of harassment.
Unexpected harasser
Reham, during her appearance on the “abtalks” program with Anas Bukhash, said: “When I was young, I was exposed to a need from someone who was not expected at all. I am not my father, and as for my family, I am a reliable person.”
And she added, “It was mild harassment like this, the topic is not in the depth of the topic, what is the shock of the person, when you have a large age limit, not a young family, not a young person, a very large one, and he works like this in safety, and he shakes you, and I I spent years not talking about it to myself, because it was terrifying for me.”
Mall harasser
The artist Farah Al-Zahid, through her official account on the “Instagram” website, announced that her younger sister was harassed by a person standing in front of one of the famous malls in the 6th of October City, and she published a picture of the harasser, and wrote: “Ok, now the man is a harasser standing in the mall. The lack of manners, even my little sister, from the opposite and talking and workers winking at her and the need to scratch the modesty of any girl.. She is standing at the bank with her and my mother, so they panicked about him. May he have a quick response in order to eliminate these forms.”
On the same day, Farah revealed the arrest of the harasser of her younger sister, in the 6th of October City Department, and wrote on her “Instagram Story”: “Praise be to God for the quick response, the harasser is now in the department and will be presented to the prosecution, thanks to the Egyptian police for the feeling. In safety, beware that you give up your rights or remain silent, because by God, the truth will return.”
Mr Mayan
In July 2020, Mayan El-Sayed revealed that she had been subjected to two incidents of harassment, and published a video clip on her account on “Instagram”, in which she said: “Once a colleague of mine tried to harass me, and he was a close friend, and thank God I was able to prevent him, I never directed him, at that time I was not aware that This was harassment, and when I grew up, I understood, I could not believe it or understand it.. Two years later, a colleague of mine at work, an actor, also tried to harass me, and I was very angry, and I did not know what to say, but I remained silent, but I will not be silent again. “

Smile
The artist, Basma, revealed, during her dialogue with Suhair Joudeh and Mufida Shiha, on the “Satat” program on “Al-Nahar” channel, that she was subjected to two incidents of harassment in a gathering, about 10-12 years ago, adding: “I don’t want to talk about the details of these incidents because they hurt .. And our Lord will cover.. I did not know, because this happened from people I did not know.. The first time that people knew me from the middle of this assembly until I entered a closed place, and the second time it was a big accident, our Lord let one Ibn Halal lock me, and he knew in the other that he would save me from the middle of the incident It puts me in Arabic.
She continued: “I tried to vote, but the incident was more than I know how to deal with, to the point that at one moment I fell on the ground and was more than 100 feet above me. At this moment, I said I will die of salvation. If someone tried to reach out to me, I was able to hold his hand and make him thirsty with the pen… One in these moments remains a sense that it is a little trick and no one can help it.
Dina El-Sherbiny
The artist, Dina El-Sherbiny, was harassed, and said during her hosting with the media, Raghida Shalhoub, on her program “A Comprehensive Examination”, that she felt the hand of a person feeling her while she was in the Agami area in Alexandria, stressing that she was able to catch him, adding: “I ran and saw him and released the whole street .. I didn’t think about these needs.”
Salma Abu Deif
Young artist Salma Abu Deif revealed that she was harassed more than once in her childhood, and published a video in which she talks about it through her account on the “Instagram” website, saying: “I almost have no girl I know or know who has been harassed in her life from a young age until now. “
And she continued, “When I came, I spoke with my friends before, including those who told me stories that I am not able to believe, and there are things that I went through. When I was young, for example, a doctor decided because I am a young girl and he is trustworthy. He has the right to approach me in an uncomfortable way and catch me.” In an uncomfortable way, or the school bus driver puts his hand on my legs in a way that is not nice and needs a lot… But I told my mother, for example, in the story of the doctor, and we are not going to live again.”
She added, “I want to say, but what happens is a need for him to go to speak with his family, and the parents must remain confident in their children that a father needs to talk to her, impress her in a violent way or prevent them, on the contrary, they must know how to build the trust between them and their children so that they come and tell them anything. Because a person when he is young does not know how to act at all.. And surely a young child will not know how to act, or a public girl will not know how to act in a need like this, so the first person who wants to tell him is his family.
