Engy Ghozlan

Engy Ayman Ghozlan (Arabic: إنجي أيمن غزلان ; born 1985) is a social activist and journalist who highlights problems of sexual harassment of women in the streets of Egypt.

[1] Ghozlan is also the co-founder of HarassMap, established in 2010, a voluntary organization that uses digital and online technology to report incidents of sexual harassment of women in Egypt.

She gave interviews online, on television, and in newspapers to bring awareness of what constitutes sexual harassment to the Egyptian public, as the country lacks a "clear, legal definition" of the term.

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".

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.
