Nariman El-Mofty In my house, I cannot go out as I want, cannot call whomever I want, am not allowed to learn music. I feel I am just something on the shelf at home. Heba Khalifa Ice-cream seller in Manial Sheiha. Few women are allowed out of their houses without their husband‘s permission and behind many doors are dozens of tragic tales of young women whose lives have been destroyed by the effects of early marriage. Gary Calton I wait for my period. Although it is something I dislike very much, having my period means that I am not pregnant and I won't have to go through another abortion here in Egypt. I don't even want to imagine this situation in this country. It scares me to death. Heba Khalifa I have spent my whole life trying to love myself. My body is heavy. I am detached from my soul. I am in the desert in my own home, empty of intimacy and feeling. Heba Khalifa I have had horrible headaches since I was seven. At my new school, mates rejected the dark skinned intruder who thought about things differently. I hated being different – inside and out. Heba Khalifa I choose my path. I want to make different choices than my mother made, but her voice still resonates in my ears, "See, I told you, you will not be able to do it." Heba Khalifa I cannot see well, and my friends used to call me "the girl with four eyes." As a result I grew up feeling I can neither see nor be seen by the world. Heba Khalifa I am a single mother. My daughter and I are one. She is always with me. Any lover I might have must love my daughter more than me. So I cannot easily find a lover. My life is overloaded. I work six days a week and am all over the place doing acrobatics to be able to provide shelter to my daughter. Heba Khalifa Hussein et sa mère Denis Dailleux Heba, Ataba, Cairo Amélie Losier Heba Khalifa Photographer Hala Nammr / 54 years old, Once I bought a very nice dress that I liked. After I bought it and tried it at home again, I immediately took it off and gave it to my daughter because I realized that I will not be able to wear it in Cairo. The dress was backless and I knew I will not feel comfortable wearing it, unless I was in a country other than Egypt. In a different place, I would wear it without hesitation.

Roger Anis Gary Calton Photographer For the wealthier women of Cairo marriage comes later but they fear the scrapping of the legal marriage limit will start to affect their lives and rights too. A newly married couple wait to have their wedding photographs taken in a studio in Giza Gary Calton Fatima Ali / 25 years old, Going out of my house is such an adventure that I go through every day and I'm ready for it. There is not a single time that I go out in the street without being harassed but it never stopped me from wearing what I like. I believe I'm different and I know that people see me as different and I'm working on letting them respect that I'm different. I got a lot of harassment because of my skin colour; I always hear sexual suggestive because I'm black, which doesn't really annoy me. Yet, one of the things that really annoys me is when someone spits on me because of my skin colour, which already happened a lot of times. The hardest situation I had to go through was when I was walking in the street in Downtown and a child with his mom shouted at me: "Hey you black girl with dirty hair." I had my Rastas and responded to his mother saying that it would be good if you teach him how to behave, but then they gathered around me and started beating me. They repeated harassing and annoying me so many times afterwards and it started to annoy me because I was passing by the same street where they also live, but still I refuse to respond to violence with violence. All of this happened only because I had Rasta dreadlocks, which was strange for society. Some time later after this incident I shaved my head, but people still annoy me in the street because of my skin colour.
