As an Egyptian girl, you get to be suppressed in so many different ways by so many different people; at home, at school and sometimes even at work.

As an Egyptian girl, you are forced to study whatever suits you as a girl, not particularly what you fancy.

As an Egyptian girl, you are forced to settle for a job that is suitable for a girl, even if you hate it.

As a well-educated, wise and strong girl, you get to break free from all those strings that move you around and dictate your directions in life.

For decades, girls have been suppressed here in Egypt. They have been forced to live a life that they don’t quite desire varying from their fields of study to their limited career opportunities. They have been treated like puppets rather than human beings capable of making sound decisions, determining their own directions and paving their own paths.

Their future gets planned out for them; they’re expected to get into a suitable college, find a suitable job, and finally marry a suitable husband. But what if girls have dreams, ambitions and goals they would like to reach? What if girls wanted to break free from society’s expectations of them?

“BREAKING THE TABOOS” should be every girl’s motive!! Proving everyone wrong, doing all the things they claimed you wouldn’t be able to do should be your target.

Nowadays, every girl has a dream and a goal that her eyes are set on. Girls are becoming more career-oriented and more determined than ever to pursue their passion rather than just what is suitable for their gender. The strength you get by wanting to break the rules, the strength you get by taking your own lead, by trying to move against the puppeteer’s will is definitely your key to success.

Go ahead girls, grab the scissors and cut off those strings that have been moving you around.
