"Safe Square for All, Against Harassment"

"Harassment won´t do you any good, try again and we´ll break your arm"

"patience has its limits" (also title of the song playing)

"don´t touch me"

I´m here today because I´m an Egyptian citizen, with a right to walk down the street peacefully and safely,

like any man or woman.

What is happening against us is clearly systematic and in order to drive us away from the streets.

We won´t be driven away. The street is ours.

This is a global protest against harassment, especially against women in Tahrir Square.

It is a known premeditated plot to scare women off, and scare those who are new to the revolution.

We say that we will continue to take to the streets, & won´t be scared away.

We will face all the attempts to defame Tahrir or to scare the women away.

You won´t stop us from continuing our revolution,

we won´t get scared, our voice is not shameful, and our bodies are not cheap.

We will take to the streets, and protect ourselves well.

Harassment won´t do you any good, try again and we´ll break your arm.

Try again and we will break your arm.

A courageous woman in the Square, and the harasser is a coward dog.

"Egypt´s Women are a Red Line"

A woman´s voice is a revolution, Afifi´s presence in the Shura Council is the indecency!

Egypt´s women are a red line!

I´m here to say that harassment is not as superficial as they try to portray it.

That it is just a man rubbing against a woman because streets are crowded, or sexually deprived thugs.

Harassment has to do with the social norms.

I´m here because we are citizens, the country and the streets are ours.

No one will force us to stay home.

We will wear whatever we want & go wherever we want. The street is ours!

I´ve been taking part in the revolution since day one.

Now I´m here with my child & my daughter to affirm that women will be here till the end.

Egyptian woman, hold your head high!

You are more dignified than those who stepped on you!

I´m here to send various messages, first to the Egyptian people.

I tell them, rest assured for your revolutionary and honored women are safeguarded and dignified.

The second message is to the Islamists, I tell them,

respect yourselves and know your limits for you will not manage to disrespect the Egyptian woman specifically.

I also tell them that women are an integral part of the Egyptian revolution.

Through these systematic conspiracies, they want to push the women away from the revolution.

I tell them, shame on you, in your dreams! It won´t happen!

The women are here to stay and till we attain victory for the revolution, in God´s will.

Shura Council, Council of disgrace! We will set you on fire.

I won´t be insulted, yes I will go to the Square.

The women said it loudly, the council has no legitimacy.

Bread, Freedom, dignity for the Egyptian (women)

Here I respond to the Shura Council,

I ask them, you Shura people, what took you there?

SCAF said this before, and we rejected it and protested against it. Women will continue to participate.

Like they have the right to live, we have this right too. Like they have an opinion, we have an opinion too.

I respond to them with this beautiful chant "Shura Council of disgrace, women are free"

This is all I have for them, it is a council of disgrace.

I´m here to tell the Shura Council people that your statements are despicable, and don´t even deserve a response.

I don´t know who you represent, because you do not represent the people of Egypt nor Islam.

Honestly, I spit on you!

Freedom, Freedom

To the women at home I say, you should take to the streets,

some are trying to keep us at home without a voice.

It is the time to impose our presence. It is a key moment.

Come out on the streets & defend your rights, it is very important.

To the women who are afraid of taking to the streets, that I´m scared to.

I´ve been scared for a long time, not just of demonstrations, of the street itself.

I´m always very cautious on the street.

They say it only happens in downtown or at protests, or just in Tahrir.

There is a problem everywhere, including the posh neighborhoods... Maadi area, Zamalek.

We have verbal harassment, and also touching, to all kinds of women including those veiled.

We have to be strong everywhere! Every day we are on the streets we face this problem.

Whether we are in a taxi, on the metro, driving or walking.

We´ve had this problem for a long time, the minute you leave your doorstep, you will get harassed.

Scare me all you want, you won´t be able to banish me.

The voice of a woman is a revolution.

Raise your voice, tomorrow your voice will topple them all.

To the women at home, I know and understand that they might be scared. I understand that.

Yet, we all should do whatever we can. Those who dare take to the streets should do so.

It is for her, for her sister, for her daughter, and also for the the men.

They do this to men and women alike.

So, take to the streets, and gather your courage.

If you can´t then do something from where you are. But be positive and defend your rights.

This is not just about walking on the streets, this is your right to live.
