Working Together to Stop Sexual Harassment

Press Release
Behind the Microphone:

(Cairo, August 3, 2008) As part of ECWR s Campaign Against Sexual Harassment, “Making Our Street Safer for Everyone," we are pleased to announce the beginning of the second phase of our media campaign. ECWR is cooperating with the Youth & Sport broadcasting station, in addition to “Horytna” (Our Freedom) and “Only Girls,” to record and broadcast public service announcements urging young people to become active in stopping sexual harassment. Horytna was also extremely active in promoting this issue via the internet.



ECWR gathered many pioneers and outstanding personalities in the media to participate in spreading information about the issue of sexual harassment and our campaign. Famous broadcasters and actors, such as Buthaina Kamel, Osama Mounir and Mohammed Nagaty, have volunteered by recording PSAs, which will help to raise public awareness.



This second phase of our media campaign for “Making Our Street Safer for Everyone” follows the first phase, in which Nugoom FM and Nile FM were enthusiastic partners in our campaign s efforts to raise public awareness about the issue of sexual harassment, particularly among young people.
