Ddepicting the real life scenarios through acting and still photography on social media can be the most relatable way for viewers to grasp their message
“Your Silence is Harassment” was launched by Egyptian photographer Marwa Ragheb, along with Nourhan Mohamed and Nour Sabry, two graduates of the Higher Institute of Theatrical Arts
The series of powerful photos aims to shake up societal norms and shed light on the ongoing issue through staged occurrences of harassment in markets, public transportation and workplaces
Sexual harassment is an epidemic that we all suffer from in our daily commutes, and women are always the ones blamed, even when they try to defend themselves or take legal action against a certain incident
We wanted to send a message that harassment does not happen because of how women dress, or how they look, as we can see, it happens to all women of all ages, even toddlers
It keeps on happening because people are silent about it
