Women in the revolution.jpg

Samira Ibrahim, who is fighting SCAF in a law suit against Army conducting virginty checks on female protesters in the Egyptian musem in March. (Right) Alyiaa El Mahdy, who posted a nude picture of herself on her blog as a form of freedom of expression challenging cultural norms. (Left) This Graffiti is comparing the media attention Alyia has received for her nude picture and the message she is trying to get out with Samira Ibrahim's lawsuit case against SCAF for the virginity checks conducted on female protesters in the Egyptian Museum by the army last March. It is obvious that the public is in much support of Samira, but the media is frenzy with the controversial nude picture as a story for "women struggle for freedom of expression," but in my opinion Samira's is the revolutionary/real fight!
