We have held our tongues, threatened by power wielded over us and promises of institutional access and career advancement.

The real motive of street harassment is

that power away by exposing it? You can now use your smartphone to do
just that by documenting, mapping, and sharing incidents of street
harassment. Join an entire community ready to Hollaback!
From the Blogosphere to the Street: The Role of Social Media in the Egyptian Uprising
While the uprising in Egypt caught most observers of the Middle East
off guard, it did not come out of the blue. The seeds of this

activists began to forge a new political language, one that cut across
the institutional barriers that had until then polarized Egypt's
political terrain, between more Islamicly-oriented currents (most
prominent among them, the Muslim Brotherhood) and secular-liberal ones.
