This research project aims to study violence among young people in urban poor Greater Cairo. The objectives of the study were to identify different forms of violence, determinants and consequences of violence on young people, and the different tactics young people developed to resist violence. The study was conducted in 22 poor areas within greater Cairo and targeted young people between the ages of 18 and 35 years. The findings of the study contributed to the development of several policy papers and IEC materials. A dissemination event was coordinated to display the results related to the issue of female genital mutilation in Egypt.
