The Women’s Empowerment Committee (لجنة تمكين الفتيات بجامعة المنصورة)at Mansoura University, a public university in Egypt located in Delta Region, has organized a One Billion Rising event on Feb 14 to condemn violence practiced against women especially sexual harassment which is one of the most awful phenomenon spread all over Egypt. This event was to propagate for and announce the existence of this committee on campus which is very similar to SHARP (sexual harassment and rape prevention) in the American Universities.

The event was in the form of a march which went around campus led by the president of Mansoura University Prof. Muhammad Al-Kinawy and his vice president prof. Ashraf Abd El-Bassit to show their solidarity and support for all women in general and Mansoura University female students in particular.#riseinsolidarity
