INTRO
There is no doubt that violence against women (VAW) is a major challenge in Egypt, in all its shapes and forms. Most prevalent cases are sexual harassment, domestic violence, Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), forced marriage, and socio-economic discrimination. Exacerbating the problem is the fact that less than 5% of women seek help from the authorities. During a three-day social innovation camp, a group of 35 young women and men worked collaboratively on analyzing the root causes of underreporting, brainstorming solutions to encourage citizens to take a stand, and building low-cost prototypes to visualize their ideas.
