Today we are sharing an episode from one of our newest series -- Strongman. It’s a show that takes on the rise of authoritarianism in a new way, by telling intimate stories about power and control at every level of society, all over the world. This episode, host Hind Hassan takes us to Egypt, where sexual violence has often been used to silence women and limit their political power.
