Panorama Barah

Egypt

Panorama Barah is a street theater group that advocates for the rights of women and children, as well as the preservation of popular heritage. The group addresses issues of sexual harassment, domestic violence, early marriage, and female genital mutilation; with specific focus on the sitution of women in Upper Egypt who face multiple problems. Our performances tackle problems in a simple way, and we organize art workshops and storytelling for girls. Since our activities happen at the street, and now that we should maintain social distancing because of COVID-19, we are focused on raising awarness among girls of the virus and the violence that is associated with its spread, as well as providing poor girls with medical and prevention supplies to protect themselves against the virus, in addition to suppling them with the care and products they need during their periods.
