"*** Harassment"
Video Shown from YouTube is by OpAntiSH
This is not a fight; this is a mass *** assault
A huge problem .. A crisis for a whole society
People so negative that they are destroying themselves
As if it's ordinary to have unjustified violence
Ordinary to have *** assault and thuggery
To hurt human beings just like you and me on so many levels
just because they are different!
Attempting to suppress the voice and to oppress freedom..
...and the right for a dignified life
Despite those attempts the voices didn't rest
Not even a little...
On the contrary the voices got louder than ever
and numbers started growing.. talking .. and mobilizing
A stand againt *** harassment
"Tahrir Square" The 8th of June 2012
"An anti-*** harassment protest ends up getting attacked"
Some started to take interest and refuse to be passive
Refused to accept a reality that promotes hurting others
JUST because they are different
Some who decided to organize themselves
to address this problem and many other like it
"First orientation session for Imprint"
So they started educating themselves about the problem
it's magnitude, causes and how we can overcome it
They gathered volunteers who believe in the same message
Which is that all human beings have the right to a dignified life
Who are willing to sacrifice their time effort unconditionally
Only to see a positive change in their society
and feel that they are in whole society..
"A training session on how we can face *** harassment"
So they went out to deliver their message themselves
and did not wait for someone to tell them what to do
They planned well and took their ideas to the streets
They worked for hours and days to deliver a very important statement
*** harassment affects all as a society..
And that from now on we will never be passive again
They created awareness campaigns discussing the issue..
and listened to all their concerns.
To understand the situation better and its magnitude
and how its affects our lives...
And because they believe that dialogue is a powerful tool
don't understand how hurtful this crime is.
and that a huge part of the problem is that people...
So they decided to reach people
and deliver the message to each person.
Refuting all the misconception about *** harassment
including the culture of negativity and victim blaming
including the culture of negativity and victim blaming
Talking to everyone with their own language
reaching out to everyone
"Awareness Campaign on Talaat Harb Street"
"Awareness Campaign in Cairo University"
They didn't stop at individual awareness
They tried their best that their message reaches..
as many people as possible creating a mass positive effect
and Started to talk through all the possible media platforms
directing their messages to everyone so that the people would
know that there are others who care..
and there are people who are still working with all their power...
to build the society and that they are not alone

"Mahmoud Nader, Research & Development Team Leader"
"Hassan Nassar, Co-Founder"
We are trying to apply a different model
To create an environment where people however different
can work together successfully together
on social issues and create a tangible change in society
and apply this successfully
This is were Imprint started,
a social voluntary movements that embraces everyone
A place where we can denounce our differences and work together in
Actually the idea was far-fetched
and many told us that we would not make it
But our persistence and hope made us achieve our model
And create a small community that keeps on growing everyday
Creating an organized volunteer structure
Employing all our energies and directing it into changing the..
society positively.
Holding on to hope during all those hopeless events
is the reason we keep moving forward
Moving forward in the direction that we planned without stopping
until we can see a tangible change that we can all feel
Creating a future with clear features that makes us know...
the future is brighter
Our volunteers increase everyday..
And our absolute belief that we won't make any change on our own
Makes us welcome everyone to work together
To change reality
Makes us welcome everyone to work together and change reality
