Daughter of the Nile

Grantee / Egypt

Founded in 2012 in Egypt in response to the evident violence against women in its different forms in El-Biheriah governorate, and specifically sexual violence that includes child marriage, female genital mutilation and harassment, Daughter of the Nile (Bint El-Nile) aims at mobilizing women to defend their rights, and to integrate them into the public space to become active and resistant against all forms of violence and discrimination that fall upon them in the name of societal customs and traditions. The group’s objective is to build a wide feminist movement in El-Biheirah governorate to oppose all forms of violence and works on two main programs: 1) Feminist Education and Awareness Raising Program; and 2) Combating Child Marriage Program. Despite the societal pressure, customs, traditions and limited resources that have challenged our work, the group was able to raise the awareness of 200 young women and men about harassment in the rural and urban areas of El-Biheirah governorate and they consider this as their biggest achievement so far.
