Notes
- Abstract:
- Doaa was born in Cairo, in 1976. Growing up she lived in Abu Dhabi for 10 years, moving back to Cairo in 1990. Her father was a journalist and her mother was a school teacher. She studied in the Economics and Political Science Department at Cairo University. At the time of the interview, she was starting her PhD comparing the women's movements in Egypt and Iran after their respective revolutions. During her time at university she was involved with civil society organisations but not any political groups. She later joined the Women Living Under Muslim Laws group, where she became a board member in 2012. She also joined Nazra for Feminist Studies and was a founding member of Ikhtiyar, ‘choice’, which works to create an Egyptian discourse on human rights and gender equality. During the Revolution, she worked with Nazra, helping to spread ideas of women's right and feminism. She continued to be active within these organisations at the time of the interview. ( en )
