In episode five, host Reem Abuzaid talks to filmmaker and feminist activist Aida El-Kashef about a central principle to the recent feminist wave of activism: “we believe the survivor”. This fundamental feminist principle first spurred a fiery debate on social media during the "email incident” channeling similar debates to that in the MeToo Movement around the roles of men and women and the meaning of consent in sexual relations, challenging both many prevailing customs and the traditional feminist discourse in Egypt. In the 2020 wave of feminist activism, "we believe the survivors" represented more than just a political position; it offered a political tool for supporting women testifying against sexual predators. Aida talks to the podcast about her implication in a retaliatory legal action for using her social media accounts to endorse anonymous testimonies by victims of rape and sexual assault in the cinematography profession. She talks about the importance of anonymity in the Egyptian model of feminist mobilization against gender-based violence, about her political commitment towards "believing the survivors”, and her actions against the legal case targeting her and other feminist activists who supported survivors of rape and sexual violence.
