Don’t do her injustice

To raise the awareness of the community of the dangers of marriage below the legal age, and human trafficking, where the first form of trafficking with women is related to (early marriage, custom marriage, marriage with a specific duration, as well as repeated marriage under the legal age “The Deal”) and circumcision operations, abortions, re-capping the hymn, kidnapping, and the exploiting of refugees in many different ways such as mendicancy and take advantage of the women. There are the “misleading forms” to cover up the trafficking, like writing a “symbolic” marriage contract or any other symbolic” business contract in Arab Countries

The factors that make trafficking with women and girls easier?

The direct cause that leads to that, is the “culture”. “Violence” counts as another reason  for the spread or acceptance of trafficking with girls, not only physical violence since the violence against women in Egypt is cultural violence. That refers to the pressures she goes under in her childhood to remain a follower, and accept a secondary position in the community, its just like telling her “You’re a female, so you’re a second rank
