combating violence against women
The use of cartoons is the simplest way to convey a message to a simple or illiterate reader who cannot read.
Therefore, we use the cartoons to oppose a sensitive issue such as the issue of violence against women.
Many of the drawings explaining the issue have been implemented in a simplified and powerful way for many government agencies and civil society organizations " NGO " like the Ministry of social solidirty in Egypt, UNFPA, UNDP, Unicief, ILO & EU.

This cartoon contrasts the lives of two women. On the left, a young woman proudly wears a graduation cap and gown, holding a diploma, symbolizing the achievement of education and career. On the right, a worn-out mother is overwhelmed with multiple children, representing a life filled with responsibilities and challenges. The caption "بائره!" ("Spinster!") sarcastically labels the educated woman, critiquing societal views that prioritize early marriage and motherhood over education and personal growth.
16-Day Initiative
to Combat Violence Against Women
to Combat Violence Against Women
The 16-day campaign against violence against women was implemented through a series of leaflets directed to the Ministry of Solidarity to raise awareness and combat violence against women. This campaign was implemented by Sameh Samir under the supervision of the Ministry of Social Solidarity.
16 days Campaign
This international campaign aims to raise awareness and eliminate gender-based violence. Spanning from November 25 (International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women) to December 10 (Human Rights Day), it involves advocacy, education, and action to promote women's rights and end violence. The campaign unites organizations and individuals worldwide in efforts to create safer environments for women and girls.
Initiative Against Violence Towards Women in Collaboration with UNFPA
I collaborated with the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) to create an awareness project aimed at combating violence against women, including sexual harassment, domestic violence, and female genital mutilation (FGM). Through this project, I produced a series of educational cartoons to highlight these issues and raise public awareness.
The illustrations use familiar scenes and characters to depict everyday situations where women face violence and harassment. One cartoon shows two women discussing the dangers of FGM, with one expressing concern for her daughter and the other explaining the health risks involved. Another illustration highlights sexual harassment in public places, depicting a girl feeling scared as young men harass her near a kiosk. There is also a cartoon focusing on cyber harassment, where a mother explains to her son the importance of respecting others online.
The aim of these illustrations is to educate the community on the dangers of violence against women and promote a culture of respect and equality. By collaborating with UNFPA, we strive to spread awareness and encourage positive change in society to ensure the rights and safety of women and girls.
A Cartoon Strip Created in Cooperation with UNFPA and the (Taa Marbota) Association
In the cartoon series, we follow the story of a young woman who faces harassment and discrimination in her daily life.
A simple working woman in a factory complains to her colleague that she wants to transfer to another factory because her manager occasionally harasses her and has recently escalated to physical harassment (sexual harassment). Her colleague encourages her not to escape or be passive. She reassures her that no one will blame or shame her because everyone knows she has high morals. She emphasizes that the woman must confront the manager, assuring her that they will all support her. The colleague explains that harassers are inherently fearful and exploit the passivity of their victims to escalate their actions.
The cartoon series illustrates the challenges faced by women in dealing with harassment and discrimination, emphasizing the importance of standing up against such behaviors and seeking support from the community. It aims to raise awareness about the issue and encourage a culture of respect and equality.
Against Child Marriage Campaign
The video launching the campaign "Her Marriage Before the Age of 18 Wastes Her Life" is under the supervision of the Ministry of Social Solidarity of Egypt. According to the Egyptian constitution and law, the age of 18 is the legal definition of childhood. Therefore, it is forbidden to document the marriage contract before reaching the age of 18 for both males and females.
