• “Samia Ibrahim, 25 years old, was forcibly stripped and tested for virginity in front of army officers and soldiers, but she refused to give up her dignity, and brought a case before the Egyptian judiciary: no interest, no crowds, no media, nobody listened. Aliaa Elmahdy, 20 years old, stripped and revealed her body entirely of her own will. Crowds and media swarmed about her: around 3 million seeing her picture, and not less than fifty articles and numerous television programs”
