Abstract:
Elham was born on 25 December 1980 in Giza (Greater Cairo) She grew up in Cairo. Her mother worked as a secondary school teacher and her father worked in the public sector. Elham studied political science at Cairo University, with a minor in economics. During her student years, Elham was a member of the Socialist student group. After graduating, she joined the Egyptian Movement for Change (Kefaya) and was involved in demonstrations and other activities demanding political change. She was also active in combatting sectarianism and religious discrimination. She participated in the 25 January 2011 uprising and helped to establish the Popular Socialist Alliance. She was a member of the preparatory committee and later became part of the central leadership committee. She participated in the opposition to Morsi’s presidency and the 30 June 2013 demonstrations. Along with others, she resigned from the Popular Socialist Alliance after July 2013 because of the failure of the party to act as a democratic opposition to the new government. She established a new political party called the Bread and Freedom Party. At the time of the interview, she was continuing her political work. ( en )
