Engy Ghozlan was born Cairo in the year 1985. She was a student at Cairo University, earning a bachelor’s degree in mass communications in 2007. She was the victim of being sexually harassed in silence and then took steps to tackle the problem. She was a part of an organization called the Egyptian Center for Women’s Rights that was leading the campaign against the sexual harassment of women.

Engy Ayman Ghozlan (Arabic: njy ‘ymn Gzln born in 1985) is an activist in the field of social justice and a journalist who has highlighted the issues of harassment by sexual assault of women on public spaces in Egypt. In 2005, she worked as the project manager for the non-governmental organization called”the Egyptian Center for Women’s Rights (ECWR) and was actively involved in efforts to ensure that Egypt more secure for women. She is widely regarded as being the “voice and face” of efforts to end the sexual harassment of women in Egypt.

In 2005, the ECWR initiated a study in 2005 to gather data about the extent of the problem. The survey, which included 2800 women from Cairo as well as five other Egyptian governorates (provinces) found the fact that 33% of females experienced harassing sexually on a regular basis , but did not disclose, because they were afraid that the values of society in Egypt did not agree with the harassment. The survey also revealed how some females blamed themselves this harassment. Sexual harassment is classified by “inappropriate touching” (40% of respondents) as well as “verbal taunts” (30% of respondents). A follow-up survey among men found that two-thirds “admitted to routinely harassing women”. ECWR has been pushing for the passing of anti- harassment legislation, however HarassMap was of the view that the laws in place weren’t properly implemented.

Ghozlan took an active part in Cairo’s Tahrir Square Revolution in 2011. This social media (Facebook) inspired event drew participants from all over Egypt, and a large number of women also participated in the demonstrations to overthrow Hosni Mubarak, then-president of Egypt. Ghozland reported no interaction between the men and the women in the days leading up to Mubarak stepping down from power, as everyone slept in tents in the square. However, after Mubarak left office, many of the women participants at Tahrir square were sexually assaulted by a group of men who told them “to go home where they belong”. Because of these incidents, Ghozlan feels that the social problems of Egypt have not changed as a result of the revolution. In an interview with the BBC News, she narrated the incidents of sexual harassment they faced as: “around 100 religious extremists were screaming at us to get out of Tahrir and started to chase us out. It was really chaotic … In the revolution we were all united and we all wanted the system to go, but our social behaviour hasn’t changed”. According to Ghozlan, there were 19 mob attacks on women at Tahrir Square on 25 January 2011. Commenting on the Delhi rape issues of 2012 and their impact in Egypt, she observed: “…how a group of men could come together and decide that in this public place where they’re in a bus like the Delhi rape, or in the square like in Cairo, that they will rape this woman in public and run away with this mob mentality thinking that, impunity, there is no punishment, they can run away with it”.
