Ghozlan took an active part in Cairo 's Tahrir Square Revolution in 2011 . This social media ( Facebook ) inspired event drew participants from all over Egypt , and a large number of women also participated in the demonstrations to overthrow Hosni Mubarak , then-president of Egypt . Ghozland reported no interaction between the men and the women in the days leading up to Mubarak stepping down from power , as everyone slept in tents in the square . However , after Mubarak left office , many of the women participants at Tahrir square were sexually assaulted by a group of men who told them " to go home where they belong " . Because of these incidents , Ghozlan feels that the social problems of Egypt have not changed as a result of the revolution . In an interview with the BBC News , she narrated the incidents of sexual harassment they faced as : " around 100 religious extremists were screaming at us to get out of Tahrir and started to chase us out . It was really chaotic ... In the revolution we were all united and we all wanted the system to go , but our social behaviour has n't changed " . According to Ghozlan , there were 19 mob attacks on women at Tahrir Square on 25 January 2011 . Commenting on the Delhi rape issues of 2012 and their impact in Egypt , she observed : " ... how a group of men could come together and decide that in this public place where they 're in a bus like the Delhi rape , or in the square like in Cairo , that they will rape this woman in public and run away with this mob mentality thinking that , impunity , there is no punishment , they can run away with it "
