originally this was just stupid, but hadia ghaleb’s overwhelming need to center herself in the narrative and put a rapist’s narrative out for public consumption and call for his victims to perform their trauma for her personal satisfaction in an informal arena is dangerous https://twitter.com/janaaelmokadem/status/1279224081376821248

there are already legal proceedings occuring, as a fucking “media personality” she should know how unprofessional and frankly appalling her suggestion is. this isn’t a DEBATE. this is inviting a conference call between a pedophile and his young victims for insta views

fuck hadia ghaleb for being so self-centered as to make this entire conversation about HER belief, for thinking her “objectivity” supercedes how sexual assault and rape reporting works, for undermining the bravery of hundreds of girls, women and boys who came forward

and fuck hadia ghaleb for making millions of her followers think this is an educated or responsible point of view when she clearly doesn’t know shit and has never known shit and if she ever speaks as an “empowered woman” again i’d like her to be egged in public

i need everyone to know: we do NOT need the validation of influencers to recognise that ahmed zaki is a rapist. we do not need the validation of misogynists and rape apologists. we need him to be held accountable, and we need to protect other women from him.

convincing hadia ghaleb is not your responsibility. convincing his friend is not your responsibility. if you need to talk, serenity psychology center is offering free therapy for students. @/aminadiab on instagram is a psychologist offering support to survivors of sexual assault

and @/assaultpolice on instagram and @ncwegypt are still taking testimonies to build a case and will completely protect your identity.
