Women are strong not "Ikhterjel" #مش_اخت_الرجال


These women you see are: Mountaineer. School Director. Entrepreneur. Artist. They have the right to be whatever they choose to be. And does not have to be compared to a man with the ultimate compliment “IkhtelRjel” which means “Sister of Man”. It’s time we let women be strong on their own. Indeed, the term is used in a derogative way to describe strong women, or women who stand their ground, or - ooops - have clear opinions. The campaign is done by Grey MENA and is signed by Naya by Annahar (the newspaper).
